- US President Trump's proposal to buy Greenland draws attention to the Arctic where Russia dominates militarily and commercially.

US Falling Behind Russia in the Arctic

President Trump's interest in expanding US presence in the Arctic by proposing to buy Greenland has shifted global attention to the region. The Arctic, where scientists warn is warming 4 times faster than the rest of the planet, is opening up to global shipping as sea ice melts.

Russia has been quicker than the US in evaluating changes in the region, as indicated by The Wall Street Journal. The receding ice is creating new shipping routes, making journeys like Shanghai-Rotterdam shorter and cheaper through the Northern Sea Route compared to the Suez Canal. Russia's dominance in the Arctic is evident with over 1300 ships using the Northern Sea Route in 2024, compared to just 18 ships using Canada's Northwest Passage.

Russia's military presence in the Arctic, reopening Soviet-era bases, surpasses that of the US. The region is becoming a potential hotspot for conflicts, with Russia deploying new missiles that can disrupt US sensors. The region's strategic importance lies in its natural resources, including critical minerals accessible due to melting sea ice. Russia's Arctic activities contribute about 10% to its GDP, while Alaska's contribution to the US GDP is only 0.2%.
