President Donald Trump announced he reached a “framework” of a deal with NATO regarding Greenland on Wednesday after an intense pressure campaign to take U.S. control of the territory. But he offered few specifics — or a clear statement that the U.S. would own the island, as he said he wanted earlier in the day.
“We have a concept of a deal. I think it’s going to be very good for the United States, also for them,” Trump said in an interview with CNBC’s Joe Kernen. Trump later told reporters that the deal gets “everything we need to get.”
Trump told reporters it would be a “long-term deal that lasts forever” and that additional discussions were underway regarding completing the “Golden Dome,” a multilayer missile defense system.
