President Donald Trump has indicated a softer approach toward Greenland after high-level talks with Nato leaders, suggesting that a possible agreement is taking shape while stepping back from threats of sweeping tariffs on European allies.

In comments posted on social media, Trump said discussions had produced what he described as a "framework of a future deal" concerning Greenland and the wider Arctic region. He offered few specifics, but characterised the talks as constructive following weeks of rhetoric that unsettled transatlantic relations.

The remarks came after a meeting with Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Trump had previously warned of imposing tariffs on several European countries, using trade pressure to push for a deal involving Greenland, an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum quelled concerns on Monday about two recent movements of the U.S. military in the vicinity of Mexico that have the country on edge since the attack on Venezuela.

On Friday, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration urged U.S. aircraft operators to “exercise caution” when flying over the eastern Pacific Ocean near Mexico, Central America and parts of South America, citing “military activities.”

The president said her administration waited a couple hours until the U.S. government provided “written” assurance that there would not be any U.S. military flights over Mexican territory. She said the U.S. government had not given Mexico a heads up about any military operations.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump warned Minnesota leaders to rein in the unrest, writing, "If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don't obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT, which many Presidents have done before me, and quickly put an end to the travesty that is taking place in that once great State."
