Republicans are placing a hold on the confirmation of Mike Sfraga, President Biden's nominee for the nation's first Arctic ambassador, due to concerns about his connections with America's adversaries.
Mike Sfraga , an Arctic policy expert from Fairbanks, is President Biden’s nominee to be the nation’s first Arctic ambassador. However, his confirmation has been delayed due to concerns from Republicans who believe he is too close to America's adversaries.
They point to his extensive travels to Russia and China, his negotiations with Chinese institutions tied to the government defense and intelligence services, and his appearance on a panel with Russians who were sanctioned by the United States government. Sfraga has not responded to interview requests
