๏ธ๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ธ The US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, on the strategic importance of Iceland for Arctic and North Atlantic security:
"The location of this country, located between the US and Europe and the high north, means that Iceland sits at the center of many of the questions surrounding the security and defense of our shared region. Today, the threats are increasing, which is why this focus on the North Pole in general, and on Iceland in particular, is so critical."
