Summary
Canada is taking several actions in response to pressure and threats from Trump. The country has certified Gulfstream jets for military use and is discussing other jet approvals with the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration after Trump's threats.
Canada and France are also opening new consulates in Greenland's capital, a move seen as a response to Trump's interest in the region. Opinion pieces discuss how Canada should stand up to Trump and suggest the F-35 fighter jet may no longer be the right choice for Canada's military.
