Trump and Rutte finalize "permanent" Greenland framework agreement, Europe urgently responds to sovereignty and tariff risks

On January 22, news broke that U.S. President Trump suddenly announced during the World Economic Forum in Davos that he had reached a "permanent framework agreement" with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on the Greenland issue, attempting to pave the way for America's strategic ambitions in the Arctic region. This statement quickly caused a stir in European political circles, with Denmark and the EU remaining highly cautious about the true implications of the agreement.

Trump had previously publicly stated that he must "get" Greenland and threatened to impose tariffs on European countries. Now, he claims to have reached an "indefinite agreement" through his meeting with Rutte, while retracting the tariff threats, which temporarily eased market concerns and briefly boosted risk asset sentiment.
