Canada's Carney Opposes US Tariffs Over Greenland, Warns of Global Rupture

  • Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney strongly opposed US tariffs linked to Greenland, asserting support for Greenland and Denmark’s sovereign rights.
  • Carney warned that major powers are using economic integration as a weapon, signaling a "rupture, not a transition" in the global order.
  • He criticized the US for linking tariffs on European allies to its desire to acquire Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark.
  • Carney stated that the post-war rules-based international system, while imperfect, provided global benefits, but "That bargain no longer works."
  • Canada will pursue ambitious cooperation and diversified partnerships to adapt to the new geopolitical reality, rather than building higher walls.

Why It Matters: Canada opposes US tariffs on Greenland, warning that economic coercion signals a fundamental rupture in the global order.
