Senate to vote on contentious Arctic ambassador nominee with deep ties to China and Russia

Fox News' Bill Hemmer discusses his trip to join the U.S. Navy in the Arctic Circle and tour a nuclear submarine. When the Biden administration nominated Michael Sfraga to be special ambassador to the Arctic, he failed to disclose his deep history with Russia and China. The Senate is expected to vote on Sfraga's confirmation on Tuesday – over a year after his nomination, which was held up by Republicans who claim he is too close to U.S. adversaries. Sfraga has traveled extensively across Russia and China, and even spoke at an event where Russian President Vladimir Putin gave the headline address. An Alaskan and geographer by background, Sfraga chairs the Polar Institute and the U.S. Arctic Research Commission.
