## Trump signs security deal
President Donald Trump signed a security deal with Greenland and Denmark prime ministers on Tuesday at the United Nations.
## Trump praises agreement
Trump called the deal 'tremendous for Europe, the United States, and Greenland' with long-term benefits for all parties.
## Trump's threats sparked tension
Trump's months of threats to take over Greenland via military force caused U.S. tensions with European allies and Greenlanders.
## Greenland resists takeover
Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory, refused Trump's calls to 'take over' via acquisition or military force.
## Danish leaders open to negotiation
Danish leaders agreed to negotiate new frameworks for U.S. military presence but kept sovereignty as a red line.
## Deal falls short of full control
The agreement does not grant the U.S. 'complete and total control' but allows military expansion under accelerated approval procedures.
## Greenland's prime minister praises deal
Greenland's prime minister called the deal 'bigger and better' than the 1951 agreement and a 'win-win-win' for all.
## U.S. military expansion details
The U.S. can modernize and expand at Pituffik Space Base and establish new bases at Narsarsuaq and Mestersvig.
## Review process for expansions
If the U.S. wants to expand beyond the deal, it must get approval from Greenland and Denmark through a standing committee within 90 days.
## Key takeaway

Trump signed a security agreement with Greenland and Denmark that allows U.S. military expansion but not complete control as promised.
