Canada is considering sending a small number of troops to Greenland to participate in upcoming NATO military exercises. Military officials have presented plans to Prime Minister Mark Carney, who is awaiting a decision. The potential deployment comes amid heightened sensitivity due to past threats from former US President Donald Trump regarding Greenland's status and territory. Carney has expressed support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries. Several European countries sent military personnel to Greenland last week. The Canadian government has yet to comment on the matter.
