NATO chief says allies must step up Arctic security in Greenland deal with Trump

Trump endorsed a NATO-led framework to prevent Russia and China from gaining footholds in Greenland while addressing Arctic security and mineral access, calming market fears.

  • After meeting NATO's Rutte, Trump said he backed down from threats, tasking Vance, Rubio, and Witkoff to continue Arctic talks, and will not impose February 1st tariffs.
  • NATO allies were unnerved by Trump's threats to seize Greenland, while Denmark's foreign minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen stressed respect for Greenland's sovereignty and preferred private diplomacy as negotiations continue to block Russia and China.
  • A NATO spokesperson said seven NATO allies in the Arctic will cooperate on security, while U.S. President Donald Trump proposed a Golden Dome missile-defence concept tied to critical minerals.
  • Markets reacted to the shift in tariff posture, contributing to a recovery after the sharpest equities sell-off in three months; Greenland's government did not reply while Denmark urged private diplomacy.
  • The pact aims to position the United States and NATO as long-term Arctic partners, securing missile-defence and mineral access for Western Arctic allies to counter Russia and China.
