Canada supports the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity universally, including as they apply to Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark. As we have consistently stated, the future of Greenland is for Greenland and Denmark alone to determine.

The security of the Arctic — NATO’s northern and western flanks — is essential to our Alliance. Canada strongly believes that the best way to secure the Arctic is by working together within NATO. Canada is concerned by the recent escalation.

Canada is significantly increasing Arctic security — strengthening our military and investing in critical infrastructure. We will continue to collaborate with our Allies to protect this critical region because we are all stronger when we work together.

President Donald J. Trump has penned a deranged letter to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, citing the Nobel Committee’s decision to not award him the Nobel Peace Prize as the primary reason for him wanting to acquire Greenland from Denmark. According to PBS News, staff with the United States National Security Council (NSC) forwarded the letter to several European Ambassadors in Washington, with the full text of the letter stating:

Dear Ambassador:

President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]

“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”
