The repeated U.S. claims on Greenland are causing growing concern in Canada. Many Canadians are reminded of previous threats when Donald Trump publicly toyed with making Canada the 51st state of the U.S. The current developments are therefore perceived as a serious warning signal. Here are the background details:

Clear Support for Greenland

Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney made it clear at a meeting with European colleagues that Greenland's future should only be decided by Greenland itself and Denmark. By doing so, Canada positioned itself demonstratively against possible U.S. takeover plans and at the same time strengthened Greenland's course of independence.

Concern Over Geopolitical Pattern

Security experts see parallels to Trump's previous statements. Although a U.S. military invasion in Canada seems unlikely, nervousness is growing. Observers emphasize that Trump's interest appears to be not just about cooperation or resources, but about geopolitical power expansion - a scenario that also worries Canada.

Resources and Arctic in Wir

Like Greenland, Canada also has extensive resources: oil, natural gas, and critical minerals. As the ice in the Arctic melts, these are becoming increasingly accessible, as are new shipping routes. The region is thus moving more into the focus of international power interests, particularly from Russia and China.
