WATCH FULL: Greenland Senate hearing, Chairman Ted Cruz

Описание: Chairman Senator Ted Cruz has announced a full committee hearing on February 12th

In Washington DC, US Senator Ted Cruz (Republican Texas), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, will convene a full committee hearing titled “Nuuk and Cranny: Looking at the Arctic and Greenland’s Geostrategic Importance to U.S. Interests” on Wednesday, February 12, 2025, at 10:00 am EST. This hearing will examine the strategic significance of Greenland to the American economy and national security, focusing on the island’s cache of rare earth elements and U.S. research presence on the island, as well as the potential threats due to the growing influence of Russia and China in the Arctic.

Sen. Cruz on the hearing:

“Acquiring Greenland would have enormous economic benefits for the United States. The island’s natural resources like rare earth elements would strengthen American supply chains and industries. The island’s strategic location in the Arctic would provide huge advantages in monitoring growing Russian and Chinese bellicosity in the region. I believe this hearing will show the growing geopolitical importance of Greenland and why it is in the U.S.’s best interest to explore potential opportunities for the territory.”

List of Witnesses:

Mr. Alexander Gray, Senior Fellow in National Security Affairs, American Foreign Policy Council
Mr. Anthony Marchese, Chairman, Texas Mineral Resources
Dr. Jennifer Mercer, Section Head for the Arctic Sciences Section at the Office of Polar Programs, National Science Foundation
