The secretary-general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Mark Rutte, said he spoke with United States President Donald Trump this Sunday about the “security situation” in Greenland and the Arctic.
“We will continue working on this and I hope to see you in Davos later this week,” said Rutte, in a publication on X, in reference to the World Economic Forum taking place in the next few days, in the Swiss Alps.
The dialogue takes place amid an unprecedented worsening of tensions between the US and Europe, given Trump’s insistence on threats to buy Greenland, a territory from Denmark.
Yesterday, the Republican announced the imposition of tariffs on eight European countries that sent troops for military exercises in the north of the continent. In response, the European Union is considering applying around 93 billion euros in surcharges to Americans, according to the Financial Times.
