#Trump said that VP #JDVance, Secy of State #MarcoRubio, the special envoy #SteveWitkoff & other officials would continue to lead negotiations on #Greenland. But it seemed that #MarkRutte, the secretary general of #NATO, was able to successfully de-escalate tension with Trump after days of threats & insults against European leaders who resisted his territorial expansion.

The details of any framework aside, Trump’s decision to back down from steep new #tariffs on European countries came days after financial #markets recoiled over the prospect of a #trade war. Some analysts felt that a protracted battle threatened to harm the #US #economy, not just the countries that #Trump had been trying to pressure over #Greenland.

Nevertheless, it was not the first time that #TACO has retreated from his tariff plans, particularly in the wake of a strong market reaction.

No immediate comment from #NATO

Reuters has asked NATO for more details on Trump's announcement.

#Sweden’s Foreign Minister Eva Stenergard said the work of #allies on #Greenland "has had an effect." [whatever that means]

#EU leaders will proceed with an emergency summit on Thursday even after #Trump rowed back on his threats of #tariffs against some countries over #Greenland, a council spox said.

#Denmark says #Trump still has an ambition they cannot accommodate

Denmark's Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen is commenting on Trump's announcement that a “framework” deal on #Greenland has been reached.

Here's a summary of what he's said so far:

It's positive that Trump says he will end this #TradeWar.

What is important is an end this in a way that respects the Greenlandic people.

It is a signal that Denmark can now have talks with Trump's people

Wants to address US concerns

Speaking to CNBC, #Trump said the #Greenland deal was everything the White House wanted & was a deal everyone was happy with.

"Its a little bit complex," Trump said about the deal, saying it will be explained "down the line."

"This is forever," Trump told CNBC.

Greenland’s government advised households on Wednesday to have enough supplies 5 five days in case of a crisis, as #Trump told European leaders that he would not use military force to take the semiautonomous Danish territory.

#Greenland said it published the #CrisisPreparedness brochure, which made no mention of Trump, in response to repeated power outages & in order to “strengthen the security of the population & to ensure that society’s overall preparedness is even stronger.

A CNN reporter asked #Trump if the deal he was pursuing with European leaders still involved the #US owning #Greenland. Trump hesitated, looking up as he thought of what to say, before answering: “It’s a long-term deal. It’s the ultimate long-term deal.” Asked how long that was, he replied: “Infinite. There is no time limit. It’s a deal that’s forever.”

Trump said the framework of a deal relating to Greenland would be put out “pretty soon.”

“It’s right now a little bit in progress,” #Trump told reporters. “But pretty far along. It gets us everything we needed to get.” Trump, however, would not say if the deal involved the #UnitedStates obtaining ownership of #Greenland.

WTAF?

#NATO chief∶ Issue of whether #Greenland stays with #Denmark did not come up with #Trump

Rutte made his comments in an interview on FauxNews' "Special Report with Bret Baier" show.

Earlier, Trump abruptly stepped back from threats to impose #tariffs as leverage to seize Greenland, ruled out the use of force, & said a deal was in sight to end a dispute over the Danish territory.

@Nonilex opens his market manipulation scheme to long term use on this topic. Say you’re going to take Greenland, market goes down, following day or so, say we aren’t going to take Greenland, market goes up. Rinse and repeat anytime you want some additional money. And tip off your close supporters so they can get in on the action. It’s robbery in plain sight.

Exactly. That alone is already some kind of a predictable deal, and not for the first time.

@Nonilex In the past, when the rule of law used to prevail, contracts (“deals”) could not be infinite as that would be a violation of the centuries-old Rule Against Perpetuities that one learns on day one of Contract Law in law school.

@Nonilex This is incredibly difficult to parse. Clearly Greenland will remain with Denmark, but Trump somehow thinks he got what he wanted. I wonder what sort of deal was reached. Definitely cannot count on anything filtered through the orange clown.

@Nonilex

Clearly the "framework agreement" is that Denmark and the EU have agreed to have a conversation with Trump about Greenland.

The substance of that conversation will be telling Trump to keep his hands off Greenland

@Nonilex

I wouldn't expect NATO to comment at this point; they realize they're dealing with a Mad King, and thus will do nothing to publicly set him off, while privately they monitor SIGINT and HUMINT sources for clues as to what mad thing he'll do next.

Lastly, they'll be beefing up troops to abort any attempt on Greenland.

An important part of this last bit will be to quietly remind US commanders that any orders for an invasion are unlawful and they're obliged to disobey them.

US personnel who have worked in Greenland for years will be reluctant to follow such orders in the first place, especially knowing that it'll be a debacle in any case and just sitting tight will be the best possible action they can take, being both lawful and nonviolent. No one will want to die for the sake of the Mad King's whims.
