After clocking just over 24 hours on the high-level diplomatic circuit in Paris — where, in addition to joining other members of the Coalition of the Willing for a closed-door huddle on what the closing joint statement describes as “robust security guarantees for a solid and lasting peace in Ukraine,” he “reaffirmed” Canada’s support for the “sovereignty and territorial integrity of Denmark, including Greenland” after meeting with his Danish counterpart, Mette Frederiksen — Prime Minister Mark Carney touched down on Canadian soil last night, and has no public events today, according to his office.

Over the weekend, United States President Donald Trump “openly mused about annexing Greenland after the U.S. carried out a military operation in Venezuela and captured President Nicolas Maduro,” Canadian Press noted in its recap of Carney’s tête-à-tête with Frederiksen.

“In response, Denmark said it would summon the U.S. ambassador to demand an explanation — a formal reprimand that allows the host country to register its displeasure at the actions of a foreign state.”

For his part, Carney confirmed that Canada “is planning to open a consulate in Nuuk, Greenland in early February,” with both Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand and Governor General Mary Simon, who previously served as Canada’s ambassador to Denmark, “expected to travel to Greenland for the opening,” the wire service reports.

Also on the radar: International Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu is set to lead a “senior-level business delegation” on a trade mission to Qatar, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates to “promote Canadian trade and investment,” which, according to his office, will “focus on opening new markets for Canadian businesses, deepening commercial ties and advancing trade diversification.”

Back in Canada, Canadian Identity and Culture Minister Marc Miller heads to Cherry Brook, N.S. to unveil the theme for this year’s Black History Month. (10:30 a.m. AT)
