在唐纳德·特朗普总统宣布已与北约秘书长马克·鲁特达成一项新的格陵兰”框架协议”后，这位北约最高领导人告诉福克斯新闻的《与布雷特·拜尔的特别报道》节目，在瑞士举行的世界经济论坛期间，他与特朗普的会谈中并未讨论美国强行从丹麦控制格陵兰岛的问题。
“在我与总统先生的谈话中，那个问题根本没有被提及。他非常关注我们需要做些什么来确保那个巨大的北极地区——目前正在发生变化，中国和俄罗斯在那里越来越活跃——我们如何保护它，”鲁特在被追问据报道已达成的”框架协议”细节时表示。
特朗普称，这项协议导致他决定不实施原定于2月1日生效的关税。
“那确实是我们讨论的重点，”鲁特坚持说。
本周在世界经济论坛期间，特朗普周三下午在他的社交媒体平台”真实社交”上宣布了与格陵兰的新”框架协议”。
“基于我与北约秘书长马克·鲁特的非常富有成效的会面，我们已经形成了一项关于格陵兰以及整个北极地区未来协议的框架，”总统写道。”基于这种理解，我不会对原定于2月1日生效的关税施加影响。目前正在就格陵兰的‘黄金穹顶’（注：此处为原文特定表述）进行进一步讨论。随着讨论的进展，更多信息将公布。”
特朗普指出，副总统JD·万斯、国务卿马尔科·卢比奥和特使史蒂夫·维特科夫将领导”谈判”并直接向他汇报。
“坦率地说，如果我不决定动用我们无法阻挡的过度力量，我们可能什么也得不到。但我不会那样做，”特朗普在世界经济论坛当天上午早些时候表示。”现在所有人都说，‘哦，太好了。’这可能是我发表的最重要的声明，因为人们认为我会使用武力。我不必使用武力，我不想使用武力，我不会使用武力。”
在接受福克斯新闻独家采访时，鲁特称特朗普关于需要加强北极地区安全的观点”完全正确”，并指出俄罗斯或中国在该地区构成威胁的可能性正与日俱增。北约秘书长还称赞特朗普的领导力，使其他北约国家为联盟的防御支付更多资金。
“今晚我将在这个节目中与你辩论，正是他把整个欧洲和加拿大提高到了著名的5%国防开支目标，”鲁特坚持说，”这对我们平衡开支以及保护自己至关重要。而这就是他在帖子中提到的我们将着手推进的框架。”
鲁特还指出，北约成员国、俄罗斯和中国之间日益增加的摩擦凸显了加强北极地区安全的必要性。
当被问及他是否认为其他国家与俄罗斯和中国的相处方式与过去不同时，鲁特回应称：
“我无权评论个别盟友与中国的关系。我认为，作为北约，我们有一个集体立场。这个立场是，我们不应该天真。我可以告诉你们，中国在军事上的巨额投资将让你们后悔。它们不是用来在北京组织游行的，俄罗斯的军队也不是用来在莫斯科组织游行的。它们是用来被使用的。”
After President Donald Trump announced a new Greenland “framework” had been agreed upon with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, the NATO chief told Fox News’ “Special Report with Bret Baier” the U.S. forcibly taking control of Greenland from Denmark was not discussed during meetings between him and Trump in Switzerland during the World Economic Forum.
“That issue did not come up anymore in my conversations with Mr. President. He’s very much focused on what we need to do to make sure that that huge Arctic region, where change is taking place at the moment, where the Chinese and Russians are more and more active, how we can protect that,” Rutte said when pressed on the details of the reported “framework” that has been agreed upon.
Trump said the agreement resulted in his decision not to impose tariffs scheduled to go into effect Feb. 1.
“That was really the focus of our discussions,” Rutte insisted.
Trump announced the new “framework” for Greenland in a post on his social media site Truth Social Wednesday afternoon while at the World Economic Forum this week.
“Based upon a very productive meeting that I have had with the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, we have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region,” the president wrote. “Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the Tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect on February 1st. Additional discussions are being held concerning The Golden Dome as it pertains to Greenland. Further information will be made available as discussions progress.”
Trump noted that Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and special envoy Steve Witkoff will lead “the negotiations” and report directly to him.
“We probably won’t get anything unless I decide to use excessive strength and force where we would be, frankly, unstoppable. But I won’t do that,” Trump said earlier in the morning at the World Economic Forum. “Now everyone’s saying, ‘Oh, good.’ That’s probably the biggest statement I made because people thought I would use force. I don’t have to use force. I don’t want to use force. I won’t use force.”
During the exclusive interview with Fox News, Rutte called Trump “totally right” about needing to shore up security in the Arctic region, noting that the chance of Russia or China becoming a threat in that region is increasing every day. The NATO Secretary General also praised Trump’s leadership in getting other NATO countries to pay more money for the alliance’s defenses.
“I would argue tonight with you on this program he was the one who brought a whole of Europe and Canada up to this famous 5%,” Rutte insisted, “which is crucial for us to equalize our spending, but also protect ourselves. And this is the framework which you see in his post that we will work on.”
Rutte also noted that increased volatility between NATO-aligned countries, Russia and China underscored the need to shore up security in the Arctic region.
The NATO chief was asked whether he thought other countries were dealing with the Russians and the Chinese differently than they have in the past.
“It’s not up to me to comment on what individual allies are doing in terms of their relationship with China,” Rutte responded. “I think collectively, as NATO, we have a position. The position is that we should not be naive. I can tell you’ll regret these huge investments the Chinese are making in the military. They are not there to organize parades in Beijing, and the military in Russia are not there to organize parades in Moscow. They are there to be used.”
