3:35Now PlayingCanada will increase its presence in the Arctic, according to Foreign Minister Anita Anand, as US President Donald Trump has triggered turmoil in the region by threatening to annex Greenland.
Canada will open a consulate in the semi-autonomous Danish territory next month, a move that had been in the works before the current situation, Anand said in an interview with Bloomberg on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos.
“We have no choice but to ensure we’re bolstering our Arctic presence,” she said. “Arctic security is very much on our radar.”
Trump over the weekend threatened to impose tariffs on eight European NATO allies for pushing back against the president’s bid to annex Greenland, which effectively rips up last year’s EU-US trade accord leaders hoped would stabilize the transatlantic relationship.
“We’re talking about acquiring — not leasing, not having it short-term, we’re talking about acquiring and if we don’t do it, Russia or China will and that’s not going to happen while I’m president,” Trump told reporters over the weekend.
