By suddenly declaring a deal on Greenland, Trump demolished his case for owning it | CBC News

In a sudden reversal, U.S. President Donald Trump abandoned his push for the U.S. to take control of Greenland, just hours after advocating for it at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Trump's reversal came after a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, during which he announced a deal regarding Greenland and the Arctic region. This move came after Trump had previously insisted that only U.S. ownership of Greenland could address his national security concerns, despite ruling out the use of military force to achieve this.
