Read Time:51 Second
The President of the United States will not, after all, introduce tariffs on goods from eight European countries, including Denmark, Germany and France.
On his social media platform Truth Social, Trump writes, among other things:
“Based upon a very productive meeting that I have had with the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, we have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region. This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nations.”
He continues:
“Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the Tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect on February 1st. Additional discussions are being held concerning The Golden Dome as it pertains to Greenland. Further information will be made available as discussions progress.”
According to Trump’s post, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, among others, will be responsible for the negotiations. They will report directly to Trump.
