U.S. Reopens Diplomatic Presence in Arctic Norway

The United States will open a small diplomatic mission above the Arctic Circle in Norway.
The mission will be staffed by a single diplomat with the title of "consul."
The move aims to counter Russia's influence in the region and work with allies.
The post in Tromsoe will open later this year and marks the return of a U.S. presence there after 25 years.
The announcement comes as NATO foreign ministers meet in Oslo to discuss Arctic security.
