Canada supports Denmark's control of Greenland amid U.S. interest

Canada's prime minister has stated the country's firm support for Denmark regarding Greenland. He said the future of Greenland should be determined only by the governments in Copenhagen and Nuuk, Greenland's capital.

As a show of solidarity with Denmark, a fellow NATO member, Canadian officials say they plan to send soldiers to Greenland. Analysts note Canada is positioning itself on this issue, aware that it could be the next country to face similar territorial interest from the United States.
