U.S. Aims to Seize Greenland, Canada Speaks in Support of Greenland and Denmark
AFP, Davos, 20th - After U.S. President Trump threatened to seize the Danish autonomous territory of Greenland, Canadian Prime Minister Carney (Mark Carney) spoke out today at the World Economic Forum meeting in support of Greenland and Denmark.
Carney, who traveled to Davos, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum, stated, "Canada firmly supports Greenland and Denmark, and fully supports their unique right to decide Greenland's future."
While delivering a speech to global political and financial elites, Carney also mentioned a theme he has emphasized since entering Canadian politics last year: the global governance system led by the United States will not return to its previous normal state before Trump.
He said that Canada was one of the first countries to "hear the alarm" and realized that fundamental changes were taking place in the world.
He also said that Canada had benefited from the era of American hegemony, but now it must shift because major powers are increasingly using economic power as a lever.
Carney bluntly said, "The old order will not return," and called on medium-sized countries like Canada to unite to defend the international order based on rules, "because if we are not at the negotiating table, we will become the ones being exploited."
