Arctic Security in the Hypersonic Age: Golden Dome, Greenland and Transatlantic Arctic relations with Dr. Troy Bouffard

Arctic Security in the Hypersonic Age: Golden Dome, Greenland and Transatlantic Arctic relations with Dr. Troy Bouffard

The strategic location of Greenland within the proposed Golden Dome missle defense system has been one of the Trump Administration’s main arguments for acquiring the massive Arctic island. To explain how the futuristic system would work, and why Greenland and the Arctic are crucial for protecting North America against ballistic and hypersonic cruise missles, Dr. Troy Bouffard, director of the University of Alaska-Fairbanks Center for Arctic Security and Resilience, joins the podcast. He also discusses the strained—yet in some sectors stable—state of US-European and US-Canadian relations, the indispensible role of NORAD, and the great importance of recent NATO activities like Arctic Sentry and Cold Response for maintaining strong Transatlantic ties for Arctic security in turbulent times.
