DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) — President Donald Trump says he’s canceling his tariff threat on several European nations in his push for U.S. control of Greenland after coming to terms with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on a “framework of a future deal” on Arctic security. Trump’s announcement Wednesday on social media came soon after he said in a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos that he was backing off his threat of using military force to seize the Danish territory that he says is crucial to U.S. national security.  (Photo:  AP)
