After dispute with Trump: Greenland deal: what does Trump gain?

The US, Denmark, and Greenland have signed an agreement to deepen their security partnership. The deal modernizes and expands a 1951 defense agreement between Denmark and the US, allowing the Americans to modernize and expand their existing military base, Pituffik Space Base, and establish two new defense areas. The agreement also grants the US military freedom of movement on and around the Arctic island, while respecting Greenland's culture and society. The deal must be ratified by the Danish parliament before it takes effect.
