Legislators Call for US Government to Examine Greenpeace Protests, Establish a US Arctic Policy

摘要

Alaska Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Mark Begich called for the creation of a formal U.S. strategy for the Arctic in a letter sent to President Barack Obama in July. The U.S. is the only Arctic nation lacking such a plan, the senators said. U.S. Arctic policy was last updated with the finalization of National Security Presidential Directive 66 and Homeland Security Presidential Directive 25 in 2009.
