How The U.S. Fell Behind In Polar Icebreakers And Trump’s $8.6 Billion Plan To Fix It
Polar icebreakers are in high demand as warming temperatures and melting ice open new Arctic trade routes, saving shippers both time and money. They are also vital for national security.

Russia, by comparison, has more than 40, eight of which are nuclear powered. China has at least four with more on the way.
