Trump’s 2021 budget includes more funding for icebreakers, other Arctic priorities
The proposed budget also anticipates $1 billion in revenue from Arctic drilling.
The Trump administration’s $4.8 trillion proposed 2021 U.S. budget was released Monday, and it includes funding for several Arctic-related initiatives. Key among these are more funds to build a second new polar icebreaker, to better chart Alaska’s coasts and waterways, and to support a new task force to address unsolved cases of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.
