Canada is considering whether to send a ‌small contingent of troops to Greenland to ‍take part in Nato military exercises, a source directly familiar with the matter said on Monday.
The news was first reported by CBC News and the Globe and Mail newspaper.
Military officials have presented plans for the operation to the government and are awaiting a decision from ‍Prime Minister Mark Carney, said the source, who requested anonymity ‍given the sensitivity of the matter.
Carney’s office declined to comment.
US President Donald Trump’s ‌threats to take Greenland pose a challenge for Carney, who ‍is keen to show solidarity with European allies while trying to stay on the right side of Trump, who has in the ‌past threatened ⁠to annex Canada.
“We’re concerned about this escalation, to be absolutely clear … we always will support sovereignty and territorial integrity of countries, wherever their geographic location ‌is,” Carney told reporters in Doha, Qatar on Sunday.




European countries sent small numbers of military staff to ‌Greenland last week.
Germany, ‌France, Sweden, Norway, Finland and the Netherlands have said they are sending military staff to begin preparations for larger drills later this year.
Also on Monday, a government source said Canada will not pay to be on Trump’s “Board of Peace” after Carney indicated he would accept an invitation to join the body.
“Canada will not pay for a seat on the board, nor has that been requested of Canada at this time,” the government source said.
The board was originally conceived to oversee the rebuilding of Gaza but its charter does not appear to limit its role to the occupied Palestinian territory.
Member countries – represented on the board by their head of state or government – would be allowed to join for three years or longer if they paid more than US$1 billion in cash within the first year, the charter says.
“The proposed Charter is still a document under discussion and many terms and conditions are still being worked out,” the government source further said.
The source added that Carney had initially indicated he would join the board “because it is important to have a seat at the table to shape this process from within”.
