How Climate Change Is Turning the Arctic Into a Trade Pathway

Season 2027 Episode 9026 | 18m 03s

The Arctic Circle is quickly becoming a new area of global competition between the U.S., China and Russia. Climate change is melting the Arctic ice, and as key shipping routes remain shut due to war, alternatives are opening up in the North. But, as the global powers vie for control of the Arctic Circle, Washington is trailing behind. Rana Foroohar discusses America’s struggle to keep pace.
