国务卿迈克尔·蓬佩奥：“北极是这样一片空间：应该有航行自由；应该没有剑拔弩张的态势；应该有安全；应该有法治；关于那些正在发生的事，应该有透明度。我们认为如果这些得以实现，如果我们可以打造像这样的一个北极体系，那么世界上的良善国家，像冰岛这样的国家，世界上的民主国家将会成功，而那些怀有恶意的国家，那些出于以下原因来到北极的国家：为了霸权、为了控制、为了扩大自己的经济影响力不惜以其他国家的利益为代价，而非创造双赢的局面，我们认为他们将会满盘皆输。”

Secretary of State Michael Pompeo: “The Arctic is a space where there should be freedom of navigation; there should be low tension; there should be security; there should be rule of law; there should be transparency about what’s taking place.  We think if those things happen, that good countries of the world, countries like Iceland, the democracies of the world will be successful, and those who have malign intent, those who are coming to the Arctic for reasons that are about domination or about control or about extending their economic influence at the expense of others rather than creating win-win situations, we think they will be the net losers if we can build out an Arctic system that looks like that.”
