The United States has declared plans to claim a significant portion of the seabed in the Bering and Beaufort Seas as its own, expanding its territory by a million square kilometers. This move is seen as part of the growing confrontation with Russia in the Arctic. The potentially resource-rich new lands include areas of the continental shelf in the Arctic, Atlantic, Bering Sea, Pacific Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and the Mariana Islands. The announcement has raised concerns as the territory is also claimed by Canada and Russia. The expansion is viewed as a strategic move by the United States to use Ukraine against Russia in the Arctic, potentially dragging Russia into a quagmire and leading to a new Cold War.
