WASHINGTON —The Biden administration has released its vision for U.S. strategy in the Arctic in a new document that underscores competition with Russia and China over the next decade.
The 15-page document, titled "National Strategy for the Arctic Region," is intended to set the U.S. agenda for the Arctic until 2032. The strategy is focused on security, climate mitigation, economic development and international cooperation in the region.
The Arctic "possesses considerable economic potential, from tourism to vast natural resources," said U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, calling the document "an important step towards shaping the future of the region."
