Hillary Clinton Greenland dig (thanks fauci you dirty munchkin son of a bitch-go back to the lollipop guild)

Hillary Clinton lands in Greenland for Arctic summit May 2011 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-arctic-clinton-idUSTRE74A4ZH20110511

"Clinton and Interior Secretary Ken Salazar will lead the U.S. team to Thursday’s meeting of the Arctic Council, which includes Canada, Russia, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Sweden and Denmark, which handles foreign affairs for Greenland, as well as groups representing indigenous inhabitants of the world’s most northerly regions.

Clinton will be the first U.S. secretary of state to attend an Arctic Council meeting. U.S. officials say her trip shows the Arctic is moving up Washington’s priority list as rising temperatures create new environmental risks and new economic opportunities in a region rich with untapped resources."

she was also up there to push the U.N. Law of the Sea Convention which is sauced here: https://2009-2017.state.gov/e/oes/lawofthesea/index.htm

un treaty arctic council wanted Hillary to get the U.S. to sign

"But the United States does not have all the same rights under international law as the other council members because it has never ratified the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), commonly known as the Law of the Sea Treaty. The treaty went into force in 1994; 161 nations have signed on, but the treaty has never come up for a full vote in the Senate.

"We recognize that one of the important elements of supporting the work of the Arctic Council is strengthening the underpinnings based on the U.N. Convention on Law of the Sea," Steinberg said. "The Obama administration remains committed to UNCLOS and we continue to work with Senator Kerry and others to look for opportunities to move that forward. We are strongly committed to its success and we believe it will advance the full range of U.S. interests in this region, and, indeed, across the world."

When pressed by The Cable as to why there has been no action on the treaty in the two years the Obama administration has been in office, Steinberg again pointed back to Congress and Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) specifically.

"This is at the very top of the list of administration priorities," said Steinberg. "Obviously, we need the leadership and the cooperation of the Senate to find a good opportunity in the Senate calendar."

A spokesman for Kerry declined to respond to requests for an update on Senate consideration of the treaty. Several senior Republicans objected strongly in 2007, when a vote on the treaty seemed imminent, including Sens. Jon Kyl (R-AZ), James Inhofe (R-OK), Jeff Sessions (R-AL), and Jim DeMint (R-SC)."
