As the world continues to react to the recent U.S. election results, questions arise about prospective impacts and changes that the transition to a Biden administration will bring. To encourage dialogue about the political transition, we offer strategic perspectives about possible changes that we might expect for North American Arctic relations. In particular, we explore several categories of national and binational security significance, including:

1.  expectations for the U.S. National Security Strategy and subsequent national strategies,
2.  revitalization of previous bilateral commitments and relationships,
3.  the security implications of renewed climate change leadership, and
4.  continuing modernization of North American defence.
