US President Donald Trump calls announced framework for a deal on Greenland "complex" as details remain unclear. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte warned that "there is still a lot of work to be done" among the parties involved in the row over the control of Greenland. Rutte made the comments in an interview with US broadcaster Fox News on Wednesday. The NATO boss said that he and US President Donald Trump agreed that the Arctic region must be jointly protected, during a meeting held on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos. He added that the issue of whether Greenland would remain with Denmark did not come up in their talks. "He (Trump) is very much focused on what do we need to do to make sure that that huge Arctic region — where change is taking place at the moment, where the Chinese and the Russians are more and more active — how we can protect it," Rutte said. Trump earlier canceled his threats to impose tariffs on several European nations and use them as leverage to take control of the mineral-rich island. He also ruled out the use of military force to seize Greenland.
