Amid renewed interest from Donald Trump in acquiring Greenland for U.S. national security, top Canadian officials are planning a visit to the territory in early February. Foreign Minister Anita Anand and Governor General Mary Simon will reportedly travel to Greenland as Canada moves forward with plans to open a consulate there. The visit and consulate plans come as Trump claims Greenland is vital for U.S. security due to Russian and Chinese activity, a claim refuted by Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen. Prime Minister Mark Carney has affirmed Denmark's sole right to decide Greenland's future. Frederiksen expressed confidence in NATO's ability to secure the Arctic region, emphasizing the importance of respecting national sovereignty.
