Canada Weighs Sending Troops to Greenland Amid Trump Tariff Threat
PM Carney considers deploying soldiers to Greenland as Trump threatens tariffs unless U.S. acquires the island.
Prime Minister Mark Carney is weighing sending Canadian soldiers to Greenland for NATO exercises as U.S. President Donald Trump threatened tariffs on eight European countries unless the United States acquires the island. The threat, announced on Truth Social on January 17, 2026, would impose a 10% tariff rising to 25% by June 1. Canada’s senior officials say contingency plans were drawn up last week and presented to the federal government, while a Royal Canadian Air Force contingent is already part of a NORAD exercise. Carney said at a Doha press conference that Canada remains concerned and will support sovereignty and territorial integrity. The decision remains uncertain amid political implications for NATO and Arctic security.
