EU unveils Arctic strategy to counter increasing Russia, China influence

What the coverage shows

All three outlets frame the story as the EU updating its Arctic approach in response to growing great-power pressure, with Russia mentioned by each. South China Morning Post is the only one to explicitly pair Russia with China and to quote the idea of the Arctic as a “front line” of global power competition, while The Independent alone highlights Trump’s Greenland interest and the opening of new shipping routes. Al Jazeera alone says the new strategy shifts the bloc’s focus from long-term climate concerns to urgent security measures.
