NATO released a statement on Wednesday shortly after President Donald Trump announced he and NATO Secretary Secretary General Mark Rutte had “formed’ a “framework” of a deal on Greenland. The NATO statement came amid new reporting from the New York Times that deal may include the U.S. being given “sovereignty over small pockets” of land in Greenland.

      Not on paper. But I honestly think Rutte was kind of used as some sort of liaison by our Danish officials (And perhaps some actual adults in the US administration if there are any), because he is quite good at talking the toddler down. We Danes have an exceptional relationship with NATO. We have a highly experienced former minister and former general in NATO that has also worked on the sidelines to communicate with the right people.
