U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat, addresses a news conference during the Arctic Encounter symposium, Friday, April 8, 2022, in Anchorage, Alaska. Representatives from several Arctic countries, including the United States, Norway, Iceland, Finland, Greenland and Japan, met for a two-day conference to discuss areas of international collaboration, diplomacy and policies impacting the Arctic. One Arctic nation missing was Russia, which had expressed interest after initially pulling out but was told by event organizers it was not appropriate after Russia invaded Ukraine.
