President Donald Trump and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte reached a verbal understanding regarding Greenland during their meeting yesterday, but no document commemorating a future agreement has yet been produced, people familiar with their discussion told CNN.
Trump and Rutte agreed to further discuss updating a 1951 agreement between the U.S., Denmark and Greenland that regulates the U.S. military presence on the island, the sources said. The framework agreement also guarantees that Russia and China will be barred from any investment in Greenland and outlines an expanded role for NATO in Greenland.
Two sources said another element of a potential deal is increased U.S. access to Greenland's natural resources. Rutte on Thursday denied having discussed the issue directly with Trump.
A person familiar with the discussions said Rutte did not want any official documents prepared during his meeting with Trump because he feared they might be leaked, or posted by Trump himself on social media. Trump earlier this week posted a private message that Rutte sent him before their talks.
The lack of any written documentation has caused some confusion among NATO allies about what was actually agreed upon.
