  • Summary

  • In this episode, we dive into the U.S. House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure's recent hearing on the critical shortage of Coast Guard icebreakers. With the Arctic's growing strategic importance—thanks to its natural resources and rising maritime traffic—the inadequacy of the U.S. fleet compared to Russia and China is a pressing concern.

    We explore the challenges facing the Coast Guard's Polar Security Cutter program, from significant delays to funding shortfalls, and discuss the implications of the newly signed ICE pact for international collaboration. Join us as we unpack the urgent call for action to protect U.S. sovereignty and national interests in the Arctic.
