Blinken heads north for unusually long 5-day Arctic tour
Bilateral meeting with Russia's Lavrov to pave way for Biden-Putin summit.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will soon travel to Denmark, Iceland and Greenland on a trip that spans nearly all of next week and aims to signal the Biden administration's focus on the Arctic region.
Blinken will visit Copenhagen, Reykjavik and Kangerlussuaq from Sunday to Thursday, State Department spokesperson Ned Price said in a statement. In Reykjavik, Blinken will participate in the May 19-20 Arctic Council Ministerial and hold bilateral meetings, including with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. The Blinken-Lavrov meeting will pave the way for a summit between U.S. President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin, expected to take place in a European city, perhaps Vienna, after the NATO leaders' summit in Brussels on June 14. Russia will assume the two-year chairmanship of the Arctic Council from this meeting.
The secretary will also travel outside the Icelandic capital to make a highly symbolic visit to Keflavik Air Base, a Cold War-era U.S. Navy station that was closed in 2006. The U.S. is currently refurbishing the facilities there to house the P-8 Poseidon aircraft as it seeks to strengthen anti-submarine surveillance against Russian, and potentially Chinese, subs operating in the waters. "I was surprised at the length of the trip," said Heather Conley, senior vice president for Europe, Eurasia and the Arctic at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, in an interview. "It just reinforces the importance of the region," she said. But the most important part of the trip will not be the Arctic Council discussion but Blinken's bilateral meeting with Lavrov, Conley said. "The Biden administration is hoping that the Arctic and climate can be positive agenda items" in the U.S.-Russia relationship, she said. By sustaining U.S.-Russia relations in a "managed space," the administration can keep all the focus on China in the Indo-Pacific, she said. Meanwhile, while trying to stabilize bilateral relations with Moscow, the U.S. will have no illusions about Russia's military intent. "We must now conduct much more vigilant anti-submarine warfare in the North Atlantic, in the Greenland-Iceland-United Kingdom gap because of Russia's military activity," Conley said. This so-called GIUK gap is a key location for Russia's Northern Fleet to enter the Atlantic Ocean. The visit to Keflavik Air Base underscores this point.
Conley spoke of speculation that Moscow is developing a nuclear-armed underwater drone that could approach U.S. shores undetected and detonate, triggering a "nuclear tsunami" of tainted water. China's military use of the Arctic is unclear at this stage. But by 2050, its submarines and growing icebreaker fleet "will spend considerable time in the Arctic Ocean, requiring the United States to focus on Chinese anti-submarine warfare in both the GIUK gap and Bering Strait," CSIS predicted in a report last year. These activities by Beijing will likely force Washington to divert a portion of its assets from the Indo-Pacific to the Arctic, said the report, of which Conley was a principal author.
The last leg of Blinken's trip will see him visit Greenland, where the U.S. reopened a consulate last year after a nearly seven-decade hiatus. As president, Donald Trump famously expressed interest in purchasing Greenland from Denmark -- a proposal dismissed out of hand by the Danish government.
Meanwhile, there has been no shortage of American interest in the High North. Various branches of the U.S. military have issued seven Arctic strategies in the past two years alone, Conley noted.

SEC’s Gensler hunts for companies not ESG woke enough
Wall Street’s top cop Gary Gensler wants to charge companies who aren’t woke enough with securities fraud.
FOX Business has learned that the Securities and Exchange Commission is launching a series of inquiries into whether corporations make proper disclosures involving so-called Environment, Social, Governance issues, known by the short-hand ESG. The purpose of the crackdown, initiated at the behest of Gensler, who became SEC chairman last month, is to prod corporate America to adopt policies that improve diversity, and other non-financial issues such as environmental concerns, securities lawyers who represent potential targets tell FOX Business. These lawyers, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the SEC will also look at such issues as "conflict minerals," or whether companies import raw materials from countries that use the money to finance war and adequately disclose the matter in corporate reports.
Another area of concern includes whether companies disclose if so-called forced labor is used anywhere in their global supply chains, these lawyers add. The SEC will also be monitoring the racial diversity of corporate boards, and whether companies alert investors about fully meeting environmental standards, these lawyers say. Progressives in Congress have attempted such legislation in the past only to be thwarted by the GOP majority. Now with Democrats controlling both chambers of Congress and the White House, the enforcement of so-called ESG standards on companies will likely be revived.
But the move by Gensler is politically fraught. Known as an aggressive regulator during the Obama years as the chair of the Commodity Futures Trade Commission (CFTC), Gensler’s edict will likely receive blowback by the GOP senate, which regulates the SEC.
Where are the examples of Gary being aggressive on anything nao??-Gary din't do nuffin other than bury the Silver manipulation investigation, Gary knows all about MF Global too...I mean Gary has a long list of shit he needs to answer for.
Traditional corporate disclosures have involved matters considered "material" to an investor, such as financial issues or the health of top executives. Senator Pat Toomey, R-Pa., voted against Gensler’s nomination stating that his support of ESG issues would "advance a liberal social and cultural agenda on issues ranging from climate change to racial inequality" that is outside the purview of the SEC.
Gensler, a former Goldman Sachs banker, is close to Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.., a polarizing figure with Republicans and business leaders because of her support of progressive causes such as enforcing ESG standards on businesses.
