Trump agrees to talks in Davos on Greenland
US President Donald Trump said he had a telephone conversation with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte regarding the situation around Greenland and agreed to a meeting of various parties in Davos. He wrote about this on his social network Truth Social, DW reports.
According to Trump, Greenland is essential for national and global security, and there are no alternatives to the question of its future. He also stressed that the United States remains the most powerful country in the world and, in his opinion, the only force capable of ensuring global stability.
Trump did not provide details of the upcoming talks, but his statement came amid heated discussions about Greenland's status following previous harsh signals from the US. In his post, the president published a screenshot of a message attributed to Rutte, which talks about finding ways to move forward on this issue.
Separately, Trump released excerpts from his correspondence with French President Emmanuel Macron. In the messages, the French leader acknowledges common approaches to Syria and Iran, but notes that he does not share the US position on Greenland. Macron also proposed holding a G7 meeting in Paris after the Davos forum on 22 January, with the participation of representatives from Ukraine, Denmark, Syria and Russia, and subsequently invited Trump to a joint dinner.
The authenticity of the published messages was confirmed by the Élysée Palace. It is expected that the talks in Davos could become the first platform for discussing the Greenland issue in a broader international format.
