This article explores how Donald Trump's comments about annexing Greenland could affect Canada. Greenland is a self-governing territory of Denmark that holds strategic importance for the defense of North America. It is also home to large deposits of rare earth elements, which are minerals used in high-tech manufacturing. As part of its Arctic policy, Canada is opening a consulate in Nuuk, the capital of Greenland. Trump's remarks caused concern among NATO allies and prompted Denmark to increase its military presence in the region.
