Canada becomes one of the first countries to open a consulate in Greenland following U.S. president's threats

A delegation of Inuit from Canada is in Greenland for the official opening of the new Canadian consulate in the capital, Nuuk, with a stern message for U.S. President Donald Trump: "Back off."

Those were the words of Susie-Ann Kudluk, vice-president of the Qarjuit Youth Council representing Inuit between the ages of 15 to 35 in Nunavik — the Inuit region in northern Quebec.

"We want to come together in solidarity with Greenland to show our support and to say: That land is not for sale," said Kudluk.

Canada is one of the first countries to open a diplomatic mission in Greenland following Trump's threats to have the U.S. take over the self-governing Arctic island, which is part of Denmark — a NATO member.
