Original article: \u00abEE.UU. consigue todo lo que quer\u00eda\u00bb: \u00bfQu\u00e9 gana Trump con el acuerdo sobre Groenlandia que negocia con la OTAN?<\/a><\/p>\n U.S. President Donald Trump<\/a> announced that he has achieved a \u00abframework\u00bb for a definitive agreement with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) concerning Greenland, which he claims gives his country \u00abeverything it wanted\u00bb.<\/p>\n Far from his controversial proposal to purchase the island, the current pact focuses on military, intelligence, and economic strategic concessions that strengthen U.S. presence in the Arctic while containing global rivals.<\/p>\n The announcement followed a \u00abvery productive\u00bb meeting between Trump and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte during the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. As an immediate gesture, the Republican magnate lifted the threat of a 10% tariff on European countries set to take effect on February 1.<\/p>\n According to reports confirmed by outlets like The Telegraph and Axios, as well as NATO itself, the agreement does not involve the sale of the Arctic island, which has been an autonomous territory under Danish sovereignty since the 18th century. Instead, it establishes a framework allowing the U.S. to exert sovereign control over military bases in specific parts of Greenland, akin to the status of British sovereign bases in Cyprus, where the UK maintains full jurisdiction over its installations.<\/p>\n This control would grant Washington complete autonomy to conduct military operations, intelligence activities, and exercises from territory designated as American.<\/p>\n AFP reported that Washington and Copenhagen will renegotiate the defense agreement of 1951 concerning Greenland.<\/p>\n The second negotiation point, according to Axios, involves establishing assets for the future ballistic missile defense system, known as the \u00abGolden Dome.\u00bb Since taking office, Trump has expressed his desire to construct a large dome that protects all U.S. territory from China and Russia, which experts suggest would consist of a network of satellites and ground systems to detect, track, and intercept enemy projectiles.<\/p>\n Furthermore, the pact includes a crucial pillar for the technology and defense industry, as it allows the U.S. to extract rare earth elements from Greenland\u2019s subsurface without requiring permission.<\/p>\n The island is rich in natural resources, particularly iron, graphite, tungsten, zinc, gold, uranium, copper, and oil. However, Washington\u2019s most attractive resources are rare earth elements, essential for the manufacture of consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and advanced weaponry systems, in which China currently dominates the global market.<\/p>\n In an interview with Fox News, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte described his meeting with Donald Trump at the Davos Economic Forum as \u00abvery positive.\u00bb However, he emphasized that there is still work ahead and that the details of the framework announced by the U.S. president continue to be negotiated:<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Rutte\u2019s spokesperson, Allison Hart, confirmed the strategic orientation of the meeting and noted that NATO\u2019s efforts will focus on strengthening Arctic security, with particular attention to the seven allies in the region: Canada, Denmark, the United States, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and Finland.<\/p>\n She also highlighted that discussions between Denmark, Greenland, and the United States will continue to ensure that neither Russia nor China gains an economic or military foothold on the Arctic island.<\/p>\n From Davos, Trump expressed enthusiasm about the future of negotiations with NATO and asserted that the U.S. has achieved \u00abeverything it wanted\u00bb in the agreement regarding Greenland and the Arctic region.<\/p>\n \u00abIt\u2019s a long-term agreement. It\u2019s the definitive long-term agreement. I believe it places everyone in a very good position, especially regarding security and the minerals found in the U.S.,\u00bb he stated.<\/p>\n When asked by reporters if the agreement included ownership of the island, he avoided a direct answer but emphasized its scope and value.<\/p>\n \u00abIt\u2019s an agreement that people enthusiastically accepted. Really fantastic for the U.S. It achieves everything we wanted, particularly regarding national and international security,\u00bb he stressed, according to statements collected by RT<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u00abIt\u2019s a long-term agreement. It\u2019s the definitive long-term agreement. I believe it places everyone in a good position, especially concerning security and the minerals found in the U.S.,\u00bb he reiterated, noting that \u00abthere\u2019s money involved\u00bb.<\/p>\n Regarding the diplomatic process with Denmark, Trump downplayed its significance and made it clear that \u00abthere\u2019s no time for that,\u00bb trusting that Rutte represented Copenhagen\u2019s interests adequately.<\/p>\n \u00abI suppose so. Rutte represents them very well. I assume he has been speaking to everyone,\u00bb he noted.<\/p>\n The agreement, according to Axios, also includes an overall increase in security for Danish territory and heightened NATO activity in the Arctic region. A high-profile technical element included in the discussions is the potential deployment of the missile defense system \u00abGolden Dome\u00bb in Greenland.<\/p>\n Since taking office, the Republican has expressed his desire to construct a large dome that would protect all U.S. territory from China and Russia, a platform that experts suggest would consist of a network of satellites and ground systems to detect, track, and intercept enemy projectiles.<\/p>\n Trump previously stated that the island was \u00abindispensable\u00bb for this system and for the \u00abnational security\u00bb of the United States.<\/p>\n Hours before the meeting in Davos, the far-right leader emphasized the urgency for action, demanding that \u00abimmediate negotiations\u00bb commence on Greenland, asserting that a greater U.S. presence would \u00abnot be a threat to NATO.\u00bb <\/p>\n Earlier in his address at the forum, he justified his interest by describing Greenland as a \u00abchunk of ice, very cold and poorly located, that can play a vital role in world peace and global protection\u00bb.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nThe Republican magnate revealed the \u00abmacro\u00bb agreement he reached with NATO regarding Greenland and the Arctic region, describing it as a \u00ablong-term\u00bb pact with \u00abno time limits\u00bb. Additionally, he emphasized that \u00abthere\u2019s money involved\u00bb.<\/span><\/h3>\n
