U.S. President Donald Trump declared on Wednesday the withdrawal of his proposed tariffs on European allies as he and the NATO leader agreed on a tentative Arctic security arrangement. This sudden change in direction followed Trump's earlier remarks expressing a desire to obtain Greenland without resorting to force, despite criticizing European partners and asserting NATO should not impede U.S. expansionism.

Despite pushback from Greenland, Denmark, and allies, including public opposition within the U.S., the Trump...
