Chapter 4: Struggles over the melting Arctic
Former U.S. President Donald Trump expressed interest in purchasing the island nation of Greenland from Denmark. While any potential deal was unlikely, the event shows the changing opinion within the U.S. government toward engagement with the Arctic region. Because of climate change, large sheets of arctic ice are melting, exposing vast stores of natural gas and oil. With Russia and China already miles ahead with their Arctic strategies, can the U.S. catch up?
