On January 23, CNN reported that Trump and NATO Secretary General Rutte reached a verbal agreement on Greenland during their meeting on Wednesday, but no written document has yet been formed to confirm the future agreement.
Sources say Trump and Rutte have agreed to further consultations on updating the 1951 trilateral agreement between the United States, Denmark, and Greenland that governs the presence of U.S. troops on the island. Another potential agreement would include expanding U.S. access to Greenland's natural resources, including its mineral resources. However, Rutte denied on Thursday that he had discussed this issue directly with Trump.
