US EditionU.N. body warns over Trump's deep-sea mining order
- On Monday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to fast-track deep-sea mining outside U.S. Territorial waters in the open ocean.
- The order aims to bypass an ongoing global effort led by France and others to regulate deep-sea mining due to environmental concerns about poorly understood ocean ecology.
- France formed a coalition of 32 countries opposing deep-sea mining until a moratorium of 10 to 15 years allows better understanding of potential sediment and heavy metal impacts.
- Olivier Poivre d'Arvor, France’s ocean ambassador, criticized the U.S. For attempting to grant mining licenses in international waters, arguing that this action conflicts with the established rule that no nation can claim sovereignty over the high seas.
- This dispute suggests rising geopolitical tensions over seabed minerals critical for technology, with environmental groups warning the expedited mining risks irreversible harm without global safeguards.
