Trumps Grönland-Rückzug, umbenannt in Rahmenwerk

This is analysis examining Trump’s January 21 announcement of a Greenland “framework” after meeting NATO Secretary General Rutte at Davos. The piece argues that the episode was a climbdown rather than a breakthrough: Trump withdrew tariff threats and ruled out force while sovereignty was explicitly kept off the table by Denmark and NATO. The analysis traces the existing institutional scaffolding to show that U.S. defense access to Greenland was never the missing variable. If something substantive emerges, it will likely be accelerated NATO Arctic posture built on frameworks that already existed, not a new U.S.-Greenland relationship.
