The Times: Trump-NATO Greenland deal to bar Russian and Chinese investments

 A framework agreement on Greenland reached between U.S. President Donald Trump and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte includes a total ban on Russian and Chinese investments on the island, The Times reported, citing diplomatic sources.

The deal envisions updating the 1951 defense treaty, granting the U.S. full autonomy and absolute immunity for military personnel in Greenland. Key points include the establishment of a NATO command center, U.S. access to critical minerals, and a right of first refusal for Washington should the island ever be put up for sale. In exchange, the U.S. has agreed to waive tariffs on European nations and begin formal discussions on the deal's specifics.
