Utoo Radio with Other News Sources - February 19,2025 - Territorial premiers in Canada and the US are expressing concerns about the Arctic's future, despite President Donald Trump's increasing rhetoric of American expansion and actions to disrupt global trade.

The territories have critical minerals essential for US defense and advancement, as well as the geographic position to be a crucial partner in continental safety.

Trump's increasing threats of devastating duties come as he expands on ideas around American imperialism, promising to redevelop Gaza, take back the Panama Canal, annex Greenland, and make Canada the 51st state.

The northern territories have potential to play an important role in future North American prosperity and security, but it will take investment in infrastructure.

Canada released a new Arctic foreign policy late last year, which committed to promoting investment in various sectors, including critical mineral development, transportation, and energy.
