<h1>Canada's PM Visits Arctic to Assert Sovereignty Amid Rising Global Tensions; Defense Announcement Expected in Nunavut.</h1> Canada's new prime minister visited the Arctic region to assert sovereignty amid growing international interest. During his visit to Nunavut, he is expected to make a defense announcement. The visit follows meetings in Paris and London. Tensions have risen due to the US President's aggressive foreign policy, including interest in Greenland and suggestions of annexing Canada. This has boosted the political prospects of the governing party, which was facing potential defeat. The prime minister is likely to call a general election soon. The Arctic's strategic importance is increasing due to international tensions, global warming, and economic changes.
