Donald Trump says the deal he claims to have reached on Greenland will give the US “total” and indefinite access to the Danish territory.
Speaking to reporters on his way back from Davos, Trump said the deal would be “much more generous to the United States, so much more generous”, while skirting questions on the territory’s sovereignty.
Greenland's prime minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen welcomed Trump's decision earlier this week to rule out military action but said “I don't know what there is in the agreement, or the deal, about my country.”
Late on Thursday, the EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said relations between the bloc and the US had “taken a big blow”, even after Trump withdrew his threat to impose tariffs on European nations over the Greenland row.
