HALIFAX, Nova Scotia - U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced on Friday the Pentagon's first Arctic strategy to guide changes in military planning as rapidly thawing ice reshapes global commerce and energy exploration, possibly raising tensions along the way. Part of strategy would also include bolstering U.S. military ties with fellow Arctic nations, including Russia. One U.S. official, briefing reporters on condition of anonymity, played down any current tensions with Russia over the Arctic. Another U.S. official said the strategy assessed a relatively low military threat in the Arctic, "And we don't see that changing in the near term."
