What\u2019s now happened is good in the sense that the threat of tariffs has gone, and now we can get on with the job of rolling up our sleeves and answering the question: How do we improve security in the Arctic? \u2014 which everybody agrees with.\u201d \u201cThis has from the beginning been a security issue, not a sovereignty issue. And that\u2019s why we\u2019re trying to create an off-ramp whereby we can strengthen Arctic security with strong American presence because their worries about Arctic security, I think, are correct.\u201d \u201cI welcome the developments of yesterday and the \u2014 first of all, the announcement by President Trump that force would not be used in respect of Greenland. And secondly, that the threat of tariffs on certain E.U. member states were to be lifted.\u201d \u201cWe have said from the very beginning that a discussion about our status as a sovereign state, it cannot be discussed, it cannot be changed. We are willing to work together with the U.S., of course, as we have always done about security. But our red lines that are \u2014 our also, our Democratic rules cannot be discussed.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<header class=\"css-jgknzh\">\n<div class=\"css-1gn3fip\">\n<div class=\"css-p5izi2\">\n<div class=\"css-1h4tnhd\"><nyt-betamax class=\"css-j5i4vc\"><template shadowrootmode=\"open\" slotassignment=\"named\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/player-0.2.14-CnxAEwcy.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><\/template><nyt-betamax-cover><template shadowrootmode=\"open\" slotassignment=\"named\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/cover-0.2.14-eTrf0IGY.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><\/template><nyt-betamax-poster><template shadowrootmode=\"open\" slotassignment=\"named\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/poster-0.2.14-BdueiXaE.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><img data-testid=\"betamax-poster\"   fetchpriority=\"high\" class=\"_poster_13tnt_20\"\/><\/template><\/nyt-betamax-poster><\/nyt-betamax-cover><nyt-betamax-overlay-controls><template shadowrootmode=\"open\" slotassignment=\"named\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/overlay-controls-0.2.14-DTyJF-yz.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/scrubber-0.2.14-allGBXvP.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><\/template><\/nyt-betamax-overlay-controls><nyt-betamax-ads><template shadowrootmode=\"open\" slotassignment=\"named\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/ads-0.2.14-C_YVzzUG.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><\/template><\/nyt-betamax-ads><\/nyt-betamax><\/div>\n<div class=\"css-1msb6m0\"><span class=\"css-hple31\">Some European leaders on Thursday welcomed President Trump\u2019s announcement calling off tariffs on Europe over Greenland, and expressed optimism that it would eventually result in a victory for Arctic security and NATO unity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>By McKinnon de Kuyper<\/p>\n<p>January 22, 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>new video loaded: Sense of Relief Spreads Among European Leaders Over De-Escalation of Greenland Crisis transcript Back transcript Sense of Relief Spreads Among European Leaders Over De-Escalation of Greenland Crisis&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":296,"featured_media":7533,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.5 -
