Carney weighs sending soldiers to Greenland for military exercises with NATO allies: Report
Canada plans to join Danish-led NATO Arctic exercises to reinforce regional security amid U.S. threats to acquire Greenland and tensions involving Russia and China, officials said.
- This past week, Canada has drawn up plans to send a small contingent of soldiers to Greenland for exercises with NATO allies, pending Prime Minister Mark Carney's approval.
- To show solidarity with Denmark, the deployment would support its sovereignty over Greenland and reinforce NATO's policing of the Arctic through Operation Arctic Endurance, officials said.
- Three CF-18 fighter jets and a Cormorant helicopter are already in Greenland as part of NORAD exercises joining NATO soldiers from Germany to Finland during Operation Arctic Endurance.
- Sending troops would likely anger U.S. President Donald Trump, who threatened tariffs against European countries sending military personnel to Greenland, and the move has drawn criticism from U.S. legislators, officials said.
- In Doha on Sunday, Prime Minister Mark Carney called Mr. Trump's economic coercion talk worrisome and said he plans to tell NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte NATO can safeguard Greenland.
