Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney issued a warning Friday regarding Greenland — the territory’s future is in its own hands, not President Donald Trump’s.
“The future of Greenland is a decision for Greenland and for the Kingdom of Denmark,” Carney said at a press conference in Beijing following talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Politico reported.
Carney told NATO allies — including the U.S. — to “respect their commitments” as he reiterated Canada’s support for Danish sovereignty over the Greenland, which Trump has threatened to take over.
“We are NATO partners with Denmark, and so our full partnership stands,” Carney said. “Our obligations on Article 5, Article 2 of NATO stand, and we stand full-square behind those.”
