Spokesman says that seven Arctic allies will work together for the region’s security and that negotiations with Denmark and Greenland aim to block the advance of Russia and China, after Trump’s retreat from tariffs
NATO allies will work to collectively ensure the security of the Arctic, a NATO spokesman said on Wednesday.
“Discussions among NATO allies on the framework mentioned by the president will focus on ensuring the security of the Arctic through the collective efforts of allies, especially the seven Arctic allies,” the spokesperson said.
“Negotiations between Denmark, Greenland and the United States will move forward with the aim of ensuring that Russia and China are never able to gain a foothold — economically or militarily — in Greenland.”
After weeks of rhetoric that risked the deepest rupture in transatlantic relations in decades, US President Donald Trump on Wednesday abruptly backed away from threats to impose tariffs as leverage to seize Greenland and said a deal was in sight to end the dispute.
