United States President Donald Trump gave hope for a diplomatic solution to the question of Greenland in Wednesday's speech in Davos, Polish President Karol Nawrocki said on Thursday (January 22).


"Yesterday's words by President Donald Trump give hope that... the matter will be resolved diplomatically in discussions between the Prime Minister of Denmark, the President of the United States and, of course, in the interest of the people of Greenland themselves and the Greenlandic authorities," he told reporters in Davos.


Trump abruptly stepped back on Wednesday from threats to impose tariffs as leverage to seize Greenland, ruled out the use of force and suggested a deal was in sight to end a dispute over the Danish territory that risked the deepest rupture in transatlantic relations in decades.
