Canada Stands Firm With Greenland Amid Trump’s Threats.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Friday reaffirmed Ottawa’s full support for Greenland and Denmark, pushing back against US President Donald Trump’s repeated remarks suggesting Washington could seize the Arctic territory.
Speaking from Beijing, Carney stressed Canada’s NATO commitments, saying, “We stand fully behind Denmark and Greenland. Our obligations under Article 5 and Article 2 are non-negotiable.” He added that Greenland must have the right to decide its own future without external pressure.
Carney also discussed the issue with Chinese President Xi Jinping, noting close alignment on Arctic sovereignty. Meanwhile, Trump’s claims—linking Greenland to US security and suggesting tariffs against opposing nations—have been firmly rejected by Denmark and Greenland, with experts dismissing fears of Russian or Chinese influence.
Canada has strengthened its Arctic presence, maintaining a year-round military footprint, while European nations have deployed troops in coordination with Denmark amid rising geopolitical tensions.
