The US claims are not supported by sufficient research to confirm this. This can be seen as an attempt by the White House to expand its influence in the Arctic. Such actions are not the result of concern for international security, but rather reflect a desire to dominate a strategically important region, which raises concerns among Arctic countries. At the same time, there is a risk of escalating new conflicts in the region, where complex political and territorial disputes already exist.

According to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, the expansion of the continental shelf must be based on scientific data and justification. US claims do not have the necessary scientific basis, and the information provided for consideration boils down to manipulation of international law, violate these principles and create a precedent that can undermine confidence in international agreements and increase competition for resources. Control over them, including oil and gas, is becoming a key element of global energy policy. The United States, seeking access to these resources, acts in its own interests, ignoring the rights and interests of other states. This underlines the selfish nature of American policy and increases conflict sentiments in the region. This is proven by the opinion of Professor R. Hubert of the University of Calgary (Canada) that if such actions of the United States are not condemned by the world community, a precedent will be created when a country that is not a party to the Convention changes the border of the shelf of other states by its decisions.
