The renewed US claims on Greenland are causing growing concern in Canada. Many Canadians are reminded of earlier threats when Donald Trump publicly toyed with making Canada the 51st state of the USA. The current developments are therefore perceived as a serious warning signal. Read here about the background:

Clear Support for Greenland

Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney made it clear at a meeting with European colleagues that only Greenland itself and Denmark should decide on the future of Greenland. In doing so, Canada demonstratively positioned itself against possible US takeover plans and at the same time strengthened Greenland's policy of independence.

Concerns about Geopolitical Pattern

Security experts see parallels to earlier statements by Trump. Although a US military invasion in Canada is unlikely, nervousness is growing. Observers emphasize that Trump apparently is not only interested in cooperation or resources, but in geopolitical power expansion – a scenario that also worries Canada.

Wir on Raw Materials and the Arctic

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