Canada and France Establish Consulates in Greenland Amid U.S. Territorial Interests
Canada and France have opened consulates in Nuuk, Greenland, signaling support for Denmark and Greenland amidst U.S. efforts to exert control over the region. Canada's Foreign Minister Anita Anand emphasized the importance of collaboration on defense, security, and climate change. France's consulate, led by Jean-Noël Poirier, aims to strengthen cultural and economic ties. This move follows President Trump's recent tariff threats against Denmark and other European countries opposing his territorial ambitions. The U.S., Denmark, and Greenland are engaged in talks for an Arctic security deal.
