On Wednesday, Trump took the stage at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, telling the world’s top business leaders and political power brokers why America, in his view, needs to acquire Greenland. Reports say he also met with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, describing the discussion as laying out a “framework” for future cooperation involving Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark.
Following the meeting, Trump took to Truth Social and said, “We have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region. Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the Tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect on February 1st.”
The attention on Greenland centers on Arctic security, access to critical mineral rights for the U.S. and its European allies, and cooperation on initiatives such as the “Golden Dome,” which Trump referenced during his Davos speech. “Further information will be made available as discussions progress. Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and various others, as needed, will be responsible for the negotiations,” Trump added.
Markets appeared to give the nod after the choppy action that followed Trump’s WEF remarks. The Nasdaq Composite advanced 270.50 points to 23,224.82, while the NYSE Composite tacked on 253.29 to settle at 22,726.50.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average set the pace, adding 588.64 points to reach 49,077.23, and the S&P 500 gained 78.76 to close at 6,875.62, pointing to a favorable market reaction linked to the framework’s unveiling. This was, of course, much better than yesterday’s stock market rout.
Crypto markets showed the biggest reaction to the framework deal, as Trump’s pause on tariffs targeting European Union goods injected a dose of optimism into the sector. Bitcoin bounced off an intraday low of $87,193, clawing back to fill a key $88,000 CME gap in futures trading, while the broader crypto economy drifted back above the $3 trillion threshold. The lingering issue is how long the good vibes hold, given the sector has been wobbling like a mad hatter deep into his tea, with no clear signal on where the white rabbit might bolt next.

By 7 p.m. Eastern time on Monday, bitcoin was trading for $89,316 per coin on Bitstamp. For now, markets are treating the Greenland gambit like a geopolitical plot twist ripped from speculative fiction, where icebound islands, minerals, and tariffs collide under the Davos spotlight. Stocks are cheering now after yesterday’s aftermath, crypto is catching its breath, and traders are leaning forward to see what emerges from the Arctic fog next.
Whether this framework becomes a cornerstone of a new global alignment or just another compelling headline destined to melt away remains unclear—but for one fleeting moment, finance, politics, and fantasy are marching in lockstep with Trump’s ever-so-uncanny statements.
