NATO outlines Greenland dealReuters, DAVOS, SwitzerlandA framework deal on Greenland agreed with US President Donald Trump would require NATO allies to step up on arctic security and the first results of this would be seen this year, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte told reporters in an interview yesterday on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Trump on Wednesday said that Western arctic allies could forge an agreement that satisfies his desire for a “golden dome” missile defense system and access to minerals while blocking Russia’s and China’s ambitions in the region. It was up to NATO commanders to work through the details of extra security requirements, Rutte said, adding that he was sure non-arctic NATO allies would want to contribute to the effort.
