Denmark's possibility of military action to acquire Greenland rejected: Trump

US President Donald Trump will meet with the Ukrainian leader today in Davos as he launches his new 'Board of Peace' and will not launch a military attack on Greenland.
This move is an attempt to bolster his claim that he prioritizes reconciliation.
Announcing suddenly on Wednesday, Trump said he was ruling out the possibility of military action to acquire Greenland from Denmark, which helped to partially ease the crisis at the meeting in Europe.
On his second day in Davos, Trump will attempt to promote the "Board of Peace" and will hold a signing ceremony for the organization's charter.
A fee of $1 billion has been set for permanent membership in the newly formed board, and Trump has invited several leaders, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu, and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, to join.
Trump said during a meeting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi on Wednesday that "I think this is the greatest board ever."
A senior Trump administration official told journalists that so far, around 35 of the approximately 50 participants, including world leaders, have confirmed their attendance. Trump also said that Putin has agreed to join, although the Kremlin has so far said that he is studying the invitation.
Trump said he will speak with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky after the Board of Peace. He said that Russia and Ukraine would be foolish if they do not make a peace agreement.
The US leader's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, will travel from Davos to Moscow, where he will negotiate with Putin on Thursday, along with Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner.
Meanwhile, Zelensky has expressed concern that Trump's attempt to seize Greenland could divert attention from Russia's aggression.
However, Trump said after meeting with NATO Chief Mark Rutte the previous night that they had agreed on a framework for a future agreement, so he would waive the tariffs set to be imposed on European allies from February 1.
Rutte said in Davos that the meeting was very good, but there is still a lot of work to be done on the Greenland issue.
Trump emphasizes that the Arctic island, rich in natural resources, is crucial for US and NATO security against Russia and China.
