Trump To Meet With NATO Chief On Greenland: ‘There Can Be No Going Back’

President Donald Trump said early Tuesday morning that he plans to meet with “various parties” to discuss the future of Greenland while attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, later this week. Trump said he spoke with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte over the phone and stressed the importance of the United States acquiring Greenland. The president has not yet met in person with leaders from Greenland, Denmark, or other European allies to discuss his push to take over the Arctic territory. “I had a very good telephone call with Mark Rutte, the Secretary General of NATO, concerning Greenland. I agreed to a meeting of the various parties in Davos, Switzerland. As I expressed to everyone, very plainly, Greenland is imperative for National and World Security,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “There can be no going back — On that, everyone agrees!” Trump added. “The United States of America is the most powerful Country anywhere on the Globe, by far. Much of the reason for this is a rebuilding of our Military during my First Term, which rebuilding continues at even more expedited pace. We are the only POWER that can ensure PEACE throughout the World — And it is done, quite simply, through STRENGTH!” Trump also shared a screenshot of a text message he received from Rutte, in which the NATO secretary general praised Trump for his work in securing a ceasefire in Syria and promised to find “a way forward on Greenland.” “Mr. President, dear Donald — what you accomplished in Syria today is incredible. I will use my media engagements in Davos to highlight your work there, in Gaza, and in Ukraine,” Rutte added in the message. “I am committed to finding a way forward on Greenland. Can’t wait to see you. Yours, Mark.” Rutte’s friendly message to Trump comes as America’s European allies try to figure out how to respond to Trump’s push to control Greenland, a plan Europe has strongly denounced. Since Trump has ramped up his effort to acquire Greenland, NATO nations deployed troops to the territory last week for a military exercise. Over the weekend, Trump announced that he would impose additional tariffs on eight European nations that have opposed his Greenland push. The additional tariffs are set to take effect on February 1 and will apply to imports from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Finland. Trump also shared a screenshot of a message from French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday. In the message, Macron tells Trump, “I do not understand what you are doing on Greenland. Let us try to build great things.” Macron then suggested holding a meeting in Paris between the Group of 7 countries on Thursday, adding that he could also invite leaders from Ukraine, Denmark, Syria, and Russia. Trump was upset with Macron on Tuesday after the French president rejected an offer to sit on Trump’s “Board of Peace” overseeing Gaza. Macron argued that Trump’s board “goes beyond the framework of Gaza and raises serious questions, in particular with respect to the principles and structure of the United Nations, which cannot be called into question.” In response, Trump said he might impose a 200% tariff on French wines. “Well, nobody wants him because he’s going to be out of office very soon,” Trump said of Macron. “So you know, that’s all right. What I’ll do is, if they feel like [being] hostile, I’ll put a 200% tariff on his wines and champagnes, and he’ll join. But he doesn’t have to join.”
