Eyes on the Arctic, too
Sara Miller Llana
The Arctic isn鈥檛 the sphere of influence that readers are most focused on, given the U.S. strike on Venezuela. We will have plenty on that seismic event, including a story today examining the legality of the capture of Nicol谩s Maduro, who pleaded not guilty to drug trafficking and other federal charges in Manhattan on Monday.
But the resources of a thawing Arctic continually drive geopolitics. Our Moscow correspondent looks at a Russian buildup that is opening up competition and forging partnerships. And the far north is not entirely disconnected from events southward. The day after Mr. Maduro鈥檚 capture, President Donald Trump made new claims about the Arctic territory of Greenland, part of a U.S. vision for 21st-century hemispheric relations. 鈥淲e need Greenland from the standpoint of national security,鈥� he told reporters on Air Force One on Sunday.
