DeMarco Wills.).* Unwanted Nuclear Subs and Military Ops in the Arctic *Dear reader,* *The threat and security situation in the High North has changed. To what, however, is not quite sure. And nobody knows what future military antics the great powers will perform until after the U.S. presidential election. This is the week’s newsletter from all of us at High North News.* Last week, HNN Editor-in-Chief Arne O. Holm wrote about the conflict between Tromsø municipality and the Norwegian Ministry of Defense <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=08ef13d6c5&e=cd5da5dbfd> . The situation is still deadlocked. The MoD wants to let the American armed forces use Tønsnes port outside Tromsø as a docking station for nuclear subs. Tromsø municipality objects and does not want to become a bomb target. “There is clearly a failure in civilian-military cooperation here <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=0ca858dd16&e=cd5da5dbfd>”, says Professor Gunhild Hoogensen Gjørv at the University of Tromsø. *Looking north* The U.S. Army has now announced that it can no longer spend resources on its role as world police when the situation in the Arctic requires it to look towards its own High North <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=3a9e621090&e=cd5da5dbfd> . At the same time, there are reports that the American navy sails in the Barents Sea for the third time this year <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=b222cd8ca2&e=cd5da5dbfd> . *Those who are shut out* The Corona pandemic continues to leave its mark. In his commentary this Friday, our Editor-in-Chief Arne O. Holm points to the consequences of immigration coming to a halt since the outbreak in March <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=6e5baa5d87&e=cd5da5dbfd> .

Til hva, er usikkert. Og hva fremtiden bringer av militære krumspring blant stormaktene, vet ingen før etter valget i USA. Her er nyhetsbrevet fra oss i High North News.* Forrige uke skrev sjefsredaktør i High North News, Arne O. Holm om konflikten mellom Tromsø kommune og Forsvarsdepartementet <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=2db0b7d089&e=cd5da5dbfd> . Situasjonen er fremdeles fastlåst. Forsvarsdepartementet vil la det amerikanske Forsvaret bruke Tønsnes som havn for atomubåter. Tromsø kommune protesterer og ønsker ikke å være et bombemål. – Her har det skjedd en svikt i det sivil-militære samarbeidet, sier professor Gunhild Hoogensen Gjørv ved UiT <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=4d7b4f198e&e=cd5da5dbfd> . *Retter blikket nordover* Nå har det amerikanske forsvaret annonsert at de ikke lengre kan bruke ressurser på rollen som verdenspoliti, når situasjonen i Arktis krever at fokus rettes mot egne nordområder. <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=0e1184cf3a&e=cd5da5dbfd> Samtidig meldes det om at den amerikanske marinen er tilbake i Barentshavet for tredje gang i år. <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=decb2fe862&e=cd5da5dbfd> *De som er utestengt* Koronapandemien setter stadig nye spor. I ukas kommentar peker sjefsredaktør Arne O. Holm på konsekvensene av at innvandringen har stoppet opp siden utbruddet i mars. <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=ae19df87fe&e=cd5da5dbfd> Andre nyheter: Norsk sjømateksport <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=003a976ba8&e=cd5da5dbfd> merker pandemien på uventet vis og Helse Nord styrker beredskapen i nord <https://highnorthnews.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f32e79493cc20f2cefad3180d&id=c57a1eb0f3&e=cd5da5dbfd> .
