Trump Drops Greenland Tariff Threat After Announcing Deal “Framework”

He said they had agreed the “framework of a future deal” on Greenland but gave few details. The planned 10% duties had been due to begin on 1 February. The episode showed how far Washington was willing to pressure its own allies.
