Trump says 'framework of a future deal' discussed on Greenland as he drops tariffs threat

President Donald Trump says the US is exploring a potential deal on Greenland after talks with Nato as he dropped plans to impose tariffs on European countries that had opposed his plans for America to acquire the island, BBC reported. 

On social media, Trump said a "very productive meeting" with Nato's leader had led to the "framework" of a potential agreement covering Greenland and the Arctic, offering few details.

Nato also described the meeting as "very productive" - and said discussions on the framework mentioned by Trump would focus on ensuring Arctic security, according to BBC.
