At Davos, the US President announced a framework on Greenland and wider Arctic cooperation to benefit all Nato allies. He ruled out force, withdrew a tariff threat, and floated a joint “golden dome” missile‑defence concept, calming markets and allied capitals.

Trump signalled he wants to “work something out” with Nato, softening threats that alarmed allies. As leaders gather in Davos, he faces accusations of undermining the rules‑based order, but says his aim is fairer burden‑sharing and reforms.

Trump said he no longer thinks purely about peace and refused to rule out military action to take Greenland, a Danish territory. The remarks, ahead of Davos, drew criticism in Europe and revived tensions over transatlantic security and Nato burden-sharing.

The PM warns a row over new US tariffs risks a damaging downward spiral for transatlantic trade. He will deliver an emergency statement on Greenland, urging allied coordination to protect British interests and pursue a negotiated, rules‑based path to de‑escalate tensions.
