| diplomaticbriefing Oct 27 | The United States on Friday opened its northernmost diplomatic station, highlighting the increased importance of the Arctic region for Washington. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced the opening of the station, in Tromsoe, Norway, in June, as a means for the United States to have a "diplomatic footprint above the Arctic Circle". (https://neuters.de/world/us-opens-its-northernmost-diplomatic-station-arctic-norway-2023-10-27/) Tromsoe is the largest city in Arctic Norway, located about 400km (250 miles) west of Russia. Norway and Russia share a border in the Arctic. During the Cold War, Washington had a station in Tromsoe but closed it in 1994. | | | | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
