Trump used to refuse to exclude the possibility of using military force and was even downright threatening it. Europe stood firm and made it clear that this would result in a war. Trump chickens out soon after and goes back to asking for “negotiations” over Greenland in which Europe will continue to tell him to go suck eggs. He even dropped the tariff threats.
No one can see what’s happening behind the scenes but it really looks like Europe finally standing together and stopping to try to appease Trump had a huge effect.

Trump always agrees with the last person he talked to. He’s one meeting away from sending a carrier group to Greenland.
