Carney weighs sending soldiers to Greenland for military exercises with NATO allies: sources
Trump threatening tariffs on European nations who oppose U.S. controlling Greenland
Prime Minister Mark Carney is considering sending soldiers to Greenland for military exercises with North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) allies, as U.S. President Donald Trump threatens tariffs on European nations unless they let him purchase and control the semiautonomous island.
Two senior Canadian officials have told CBC News that a set of contingency plans were drawn up last week and presented to the federal government.
A Royal Canadian Air Force contingent is already taking part in a pre-planned NORAD exercise in Greenland, but the prime minister is weighing whether to send additional forces as part of sovereignty exercises the Danes are planning, which could include drills to protect the Arctic island's critical infrastructure.
