特朗普执政的美国政府秉持“美国优先”的理念，在北极事务的国际合作方面相对保守，并将俄罗斯和中国视为其在北极地区的竞争者。美国的这种“北极观”将地缘政治带到了北极事务之中，加剧了北极事务的竞争态势。随着北极航道开通的前景日益向好，俄罗斯对北方海航道也更加重视，并进一步强化了对北方海航道的管控。加拿大颁布了新的北极政策文件。挪威发布了关于在斯匹次卑尔根群岛新奥尔松地区进行科学考察活动的文件。冰岛作为北极理事会轮值主席国，力图通过北极理事会推动北极可持续发展方面的国际合作。在此背景下，中国应该密切关注北极地区的发展动态，继续加强在北极事务中的参与，为北极地区的治理贡献力量。
The United States under Trump administration upholds the idea of “America first”，is relatively conservative in international cooperation in Arctic affairs，and regards Russia and China as competitors in the Arctic region. In the Arctic affairs，the competitive situation in Arctic affairs is intensified. As the prospects for the opening of the Arctic Passages are getting better，Russia also pays more attention to the Northern Sea Route and further strengthens the control of the Northern Sea Route. Canada has issued a new Arctic policy document，and Norway has issued a document on scientific investigations in the Ny-Ålesund region of the Svalbard Islands. As the rotating Chairman of the Arctic Council，Iceland seeks to promote international cooperation in the sustainable development of the Arctic through the Arctic Council. Against this background，China should pay close attention to the development of the Arctic region，continue to strengthen its participation in Arctic affairs，and contribute to the good governance of the Arctic affairs.
