News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Amy Morris. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky tore into Europe for its apparent lack of willingness to stop Vladimir Putin as his country suffers from lack of water, heating and power under Russian bombs four years into the war.

Addressing the World Economic Forum in Davos, Zelensky accused European allies of lacking the will to act as a real global power when U.S. attention shifts elsewhere. The deal between President Trump and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte paves the way for NATO to beef up security in the Arctic region and fend off any threat from Russia or China. Secretary General Rutte
We discussed how can we protect Greenland, how can we protect the wider Arctic region. And again, I think President Trump was the one who reinvigorated NATO at the summit in The Hague, was the famous 5%.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte speaking with Bloomberg at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. The issue of sovereignty was not on the table with Denmark's prime minister emphasizing that ceding territory to the U.S. is non-negotiable. President Trump says his framework of a future deal on Greenland gives the U.S. everything it wants. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutton.
The framework is a national security-based framework. That's what the United States cares about. We care about our national security. And we care about the shipping lanes. So let's talk about the national security and shipping lanes. And let's see if we can't figure out a framework to do that together.
