Kanada stellt neue Politik für die sogenannte „nordamerikanische Arktis“ vor

Canada has unveiled a new Arctic policy aimed at enhancing security and cooperation with allies, particularly the United States, in response to military and economic challenges posed by Russia and China. The strategy emphasizes the importance of the Arctic region, now referred to as the “North American Arctic,” and highlights the need for collaboration to address threats from non-Arctic states seeking influence in the area. Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly announced plans to appoint an Arctic ambassador and establish consulates in key locations, while also committing to support Indigenous communities as the region opens up for mineral development. The policy includes boundary negotiations with the U.S. regarding the Beaufort Sea and promises new funding for Arctic initiatives, although specific financial details were not fully disclosed. The strategy underscores the growing military cooperation between Russia and China in the Arctic, prompting Canada to strengthen its defense partnerships with the U.S. and other Nordic allies.

This new policy could lead to a more integrated and collaborative approach to Arctic security between Canada and the U.S., potentially reshaping their bilateral relations in the context of global geopolitical dynamics.

Looks like Canada folded to Trump on his Arctic demands.
