ST. JOHN’S – The Inuit government in northern Labrador is standing in solidarity with Greenland as U.S. President Donald Trump threatens to take control of the Danish territory.
Nunatsiavut President Johannes Lampe says the people of Greenland, the majority of whom are Inuit, have a right to determine their own future.
In a news release, Lampe says any attempt to impose outside control over Greenland is an attack on Inuit freedom and self-determination.
He says Inuit in Nunatsiavut and Greenland are linked by strong bonds rooted in culture and history.
Trump has repeatedly threatened to wrest control of Greenland from Denmark, alarming Greenlanders and longtime allies in Europe alike.
The Nunatsiavut region includes five communities along the northeast coast of Labrador, and it was the first Inuit region in Canada to achieve self-government.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Jan. 22, 2026.
