Prime Minister Mark Carney is backing Denmark on Greenland sovereignty after meeting with the Danish prime minister, amid repeated comments by Washington about its need for the territory.
The future of Greenland is a decision “exclusively” for Denmark and Greenland, Carney said at a Jan. 6 press conference at the Canadian embassy in Paris, France. He made the comments while responding to questions from reporters about whether a U.S. military action to annex Greenland would mean the end of NATO.
