Carney ‘concerned’ about U.S. ‘escalation’ on Greenland after tariffs

Carney criticized U.S. tariffs on eight European NATO allies as an unacceptable escalation and emphasized that Greenland's future should be decided by Greenland and Denmark.

  • On Sunday in Doha, Prime Minister Mark Carney said `We're concerned about this escalation`, stressing Greenland and Denmark must decide and Arctic security is a NATO matter.
  • President Donald Trump announced a 10% tariff on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Finland starting Feb. 1, rising to 25% on June 1 if no Greenland deal is reached.
  • European countries have sent troops to Greenland for Arctic security training, while EU ambassadors scheduled emergency talks with European Council President António Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen pledging solidarity with Denmark and Greenland.
  • Officials cautioned the tariffs risk undermining transatlantic relations and warned direct confrontation could threaten decades of Atlantic security under NATO, benefiting China and Russia.
  • Carney will attend Davos and said he will raise Greenland with President Donald Trump if they meet, as Canada boosts Arctic defence and installs a defence attaché in Doha.
