US rules out force, drops tariff threat, says Greenland deal framework reached

The Star

US President Donald Trump abruptly stepped back on Jan 21 from threats to impose tariffs as leverage to seize Greenland and ruled out the use of force, saying that a deal is in sight to end a dispute over the Danish territory that risked the deepest rupture in transatlantic relations in decades.  Trump said he would never use force to acquire Greenland during his address to world and business leaders at the Davos World Economic Forum in Switzerland and then met with NATO leaders to iron out the "future of Greenland" deal framework.

00:00Very smart man said he's our daddy

00:02He's running it. I was like running it. I went from running it to being a terrible human being okay now everyone's saying oh good

00:10That's probably the biggest statement I made because people thought I would use force. I don't have to use force

00:16I don't want to use force. I won't use force

00:30Mr. President, how did you do the deal? Come and tell us how you did the deal, sir

00:35Yeah, it's going to be a fair deal for everybody. I think it's a very good deal

00:40The world wants to know how you did the deal, sir

00:42It's a deal that people jumped at

00:46Really fantastic for the USA

00:49Gets everything we wanted

00:51Including especially real national security and international support

00:56How so? Can you give us a deal, please?

00:58Well, the deal is going to be

01:00Put out pretty soon

01:02It's right now a little bit in progress, but pretty far along

01:06It gets us everything we needed to get

01:08Does it still include the United States having ownership of Greenland like you said you wanted?

01:15It's a long-term deal

01:17It's the ultimate long-term deal

01:20And I think it puts everybody in a really good position

01:23Especially as it pertains to security and minerals and everything else

01:28How long will the deal be, Mr. President?

01:30They're infinite

01:32Did you speak to Denmark?

01:34Did you speak to Denmark?

01:35There is no timeline, but it's forever

01:36Will there be money involved?

01:38Will there be money involved?

01:39It's signed forever

01:40Will there be money involved?

01:42Will there be money involved?

01:43It's a deal that's forever

01:44Will it be involved in any way, Mr. President?

01:46No way, Mr. President

01:47Will there be enough factors?

01:48Is it a good deal for your sons?

01:50People, what happens is that people are out there and they're working on it right now

01:54They're working on the details of the deal

01:56But it's what's called an infinite deal

01:58Will there be money involved?

02:00Will there be money involved?

02:02Donald Trump

02:03And what is clear after this talk is that the President's ambition is intact

02:10It is of course isolated and positive

02:14That there is said that we are not going to use military power

02:18That of course you should take down

02:20And we will of course continue to the diplomatic line

02:24That we were talking about when we were in the USA last year

02:32The government is very exciting

02:34US President Trump will always have the Greenland

02:36But it's very important, he doesn't want to travel with violence

02:40It will be negotiated, the Greenland will be sold

02:43It's of course very much space for speculation, for negotiations

02:46But important is not a militant pressure

02:50And that's the half of the middle of this Aktientag

02:52Today

02:53Man should always have the Schwächen of the market

02:55We should always buy

02:56Nothing is so hot

02:58As it is from Trump gekocht

03:00That's what we see in the Greenland

03:02I think that there are still a few

03:05But at the end

03:07There will be one of them

03:08That's what we must say

03:09The European

03:10Are of course

03:11Of course

03:12If the European

03:13Health Wit

03:33I would say a lot actually

03:34It feels like a huge relief

03:35In many ways

03:37Because of course

03:39what might happen because there have been talks about using force so it makes

03:48me super relieved but again you never know with with Donald Trump very

03:52thrilled to hear that first of all because he has been saying a lot of

03:58stuff about taking Greenland with force like he'll do it the hard way which is

04:05so scary to hear and I'm just thrilled that he has now announced that but I'm

04:11also like keeping my hopes down and still like hoping for the best and

04:18preparing for the worst because sometimes he can be saying a lot of stuff

04:24yeah

04:35you

04:41you
