In a significant diplomatic move, Canada and France have jointly opened consulates in Greenland, marking a show of support for the Arctic island amid escalating tensions caused by US threats and ambitions to exert control over the territory. This development underscores the strengthening ties between Canada, France, and Greenland, as Inuit leaders and supporters mobilize in solidarity against perceived external pressures. French officials celebrated this initiative as a historic step, with France becoming the first EU country to establish a consulate in Greenland. This collaborative effort is seen as a counter to the ongoing challenges posed by US policies in the Arctic region.
