Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada is "concerned" about U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to impose increasing tariffs on several European countries until they accede to his demand to purchase and control Greenland. "We're concerned about this escalation," Carney told reporters at a press conference in Doha, Qatar on Sunday morning. "Decisions about the future of Greenland are for Greenland and Denmark to decide." But Carignan, whose interview was taped before Trump's new tariff threat, expressed optimism that NATO will persevere. Carney said after years of stalled negotiations, Canada aims to finalize the Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement with Qatar by this summer.
