️🇺🇸 US Secretary of State Rubio on threats to US security in the Arctic region:

"Collectively, not just alone unilaterally, but in conjunction with our partners and allies, which is why we've had these permanent engagements with the seven Arctic nations.

And Iceland is a key element in this where we already have a history of cooperation on these matters in the past. So yes. I mean, there are direct threats, and these threats in the twenty-first century are not just military threats.

They are also commercial and economic threats that have implications for the national security of the respective countries."
