What was surprising was that this announcement didn't come after he met with representatives from Greenland or Denmark, but rather with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, who has no jurisdiction over the Arctic island. Greenland's Prime Minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, made this clear: "No one, apart from Greenland and Denmark, has the mandate to make agreements on Greenland without us. This is not going to happen." He also emphasized that no one had informed them of the terms of the supposed preliminary agreement: "I don't know what's in the agreement regarding my country." In a press conference from Nuuk, the head of the island's autonomous government reiterated that he had no details about the supposed preliminary agreement announced by Trump. He also recalled that, in a <a href="https://en.ara.cat/international/trump-raises-his-voice-against-denmark-and-greenland-ahead-of-white-house-meeting_1_5617852.html">meeting in Washington last week at the level of foreign ministers</a>It was agreed to create a high-level working group to find a viable solution. "We have red lines that cannot be crossed," he insisted: respect for territorial integrity, international law, sovereignty, and Greenland's right to self-determination.</p>]]></description>

This was confirmed by the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, after reaching an agreement with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte this Sunday in an appearance from the Moncloa Palace. Sánchez explained that an agreement had been reached with the Prime Minister to allocate 5% of GDP to public defense spending. "We [Spain] will allocate 2.1% of GDP to defense. Nothing more, nothing less," Sánchez stated, referring to a letter sent to Rutte. <a href="https://en.ara.cat/politics/trump-responds-to-sanchez-the-5-defense-tax-spain-should-pay-what-everyone-else-pays_1_5418856.html" >enter into a head-on collision with Donald Trump</a>, who hours later warned that NATO should "take responsibility" for Spain's refusal. Finally, Rutte and Sánchez have reached an agreement to make the achievement of this objective more flexible, which will be reflected in the final declaration of the summit, which begins this Tuesday in The Hague (Netherlands) and is expected to last until June 26.</p>]]></description>

Two weeks before the NATO summit in The Hague, Secretary General Mark Rutte issued a resounding warning from London to all members of the Alliance. In a world where "hope is not a strategy," the allies must commit to making NATO a "stronger, fairer, and more lethal" entity, capable of guaranteeing the security of one billion people on both sides of the Atlantic. Among other reasons, because the Kremlin "could be prepared to use military force against NATO within five years," Rutte said from Chatham House, hours after meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.</p>]]></description>
