The United Nations has reached an agreement on the Treaty of the Sea, which establishes protected zones 200 miles from national shores. This is discussed alongside Japan's recent discovery of 7,000 previously unaccounted-for islands, which could significantly expand its exclusive economic zone and strategic military reach.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited Tromso, Norway, to discuss the Law of the Sea Treaty and Arctic resource competition. The segment notes the ongoing dispute between Russia and the U.S. over exclusive economic zones and mineral rights in the North Pole. Clinton's active travel schedule is interpreted as an effort to secure U.S. energy dominance before her planned retirement.
