Italy aims for the Arctic

On Friday, Italy’s government introduced its “Italian Arctic Policy” document, highlighting the region’s economic and strategic importance. “Italy is convinced that the Arctic must always be a priority of the EU and NATO, and that the Atlantic alliance must seize the opportunity to develop a coordinated presence in the region,” Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni stated Friday, going on to say that her Mediterranean nation considers the polar territory “a central and strategic region for Italy ….” The new document contains 50 pages labeling the U.S. push to acquire Greenland a threat. Europe’s increasingly assertive interest in the Arctic is a direct geopolitical push against the United States, and Bible prophecy warns that it will not be the only one.
