@sacramentourbanmedia916: President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he is abandoning a proposed tariff on European allies tied to U.S. control of Greenland, citing an agreement with NATO’s leader on what he described as a “framework for a future deal” focused on Arctic security. The sudden reversal came just hours after Trump had reaffirmed his desire for the United States to obtain Greenland “with right, title and ownership,” while insisting he would not pursue it through military force. At the same time, he sharply criticized European partners and warned that NATO should not stand in the way of American expansion. Speaking at the World Economic Forum, Trump characterized Greenland as “cold and poorly located” and argued that the United States has long carried Europe’s security burden. He framed his demand as modest by comparison, saying NATO had benefited for decades from U.S. protection. “We likely won’t get anything unless I choose to use overwhelming strength and force, which would be unstoppable,” Trump said, before quickly adding that he would not take that route. “I don’t have to, and I don’t want to use force,” he said. Trump frequently employs pressure tactics when he believes they will improve his negotiating position, and he appeared willing to do so in the lead-up to the Davos gathering. The comments carried far-reaching consequences, raising concerns about potential strain on an alliance that has endured since the early days of the Cold War and has long been viewed as one of the world’s most stable partnerships.#fyp #viral
