U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, a West Virginia Democrat, addresses a news conference during the Arctic Encounter symposium, Friday, April 8, 2022, in Anchorage, Alaska. Representatives from several Arctic countries, including the United States, Norway, Iceland, Finland, Greenland and Japan, met for a two-day conference to discuss areas of international collaboration, diplomacy and policies impacting the Arctic.
