Episode Details

President Trump appoints Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy to the U.S. Arctic Research Commission, marking a significant shift in Arctic policy. The move aligns with the U.S.s expansion of Arctic territory and focuses on national security, icebreakers, and resource development. Dunleavys appointment comes as the U.S. administration reduces climate research funding. The role is unpaid but offers travel and per diem expenses for up to ninety days a year. The appointment follows a similar move by Trump, naming Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry as Greenland envoy. Dunleavys term as governor ends in December, leaving questions about the future of U.S. Arctic strategy.
