Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:

Mark Rutte, NATO Secretary-General, has reportedly established a rapport with US President Donald Trump during his recent visit to Davos. According to reports, Rutte emerged as a key point of contact for Trump.

In separate statements, Rutte denied that discussions about Greenland’s sovereignty were held with Trump. The Dutch leader stated that the topic was not discussed during their meeting.

Trump also made comments on the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and Russia, stating that he aims to end the war “pretty soon.” Additionally, Trump announced plans to establish a “board of peace” aimed at promoting international cooperation.

Rutte expressed optimism about the potential benefits of having Trump as US President, saying that Europe should be “happy” with his leadership. The NATO chief also emphasized the importance of increased security measures in the Arctic region, particularly in Greenland, where the US and other nations have been exploring partnerships.

These developments come as Rutte continues to navigate complex international relations and diplomatic efforts on behalf of NATO.
