Reuters. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said on Monday (January 26) he and U.S President Trump had agreed upon two "workstreams" to defuse the tensions between the U.S. and the EU on the semi-autonomous territory, one being NATO's responsibility.
"Basically, what was discussed last week, what in the end we agreed was two workstreams going forward: one workstream is for NATO collectively, to take more responsibility for the defense of the Arctic...," Rutte told members of European Parliament.
The second workstream, in which NATO can have no part according to Rutte, were about the U.S., Denmark and Greenland continuing discussions.
