""American supremacy in the Arctic is non-negotiable,""
""We need to ensure that America is leading in the Arctic, because we know that if America does not, other nations will fill the gap where we fall behind.""
""a big game of catch-up happening, and the U.S. is not doing what it needs to to catch up.""
U.S. officials and allies present Greenland as essential to securing American strategic seniority in the Arctic rather than for mineral extraction. Several senior figures declared Arctic leadership non-negotiable and framed Greenland as vital for deterring rivals. Reporting from the region found that the United States has long neglected the far north and now faces a leadership vacuum already filled by others. Reversing that gap would require a monumental effort, and escalatory rhetoric around Greenland may undercut U.S. ambitions and complicate efforts to rebuild presence and influence in the Arctic.
