US President Donald Trump has told Europe it must do more for its own defence, but inside the Arctic, there is a "great overlap of interests", says the chief of the Norwegian joint headquarters Vice Adm Rune Andersen.

Vice Adm Andersen doesn't believe any party is courting open conflict in the Arctic but with global tensions rising elsewhere, such as over Ukraine, the potential for spillover in the Arctic is there.

Gen Sir Gwyn Jenkins has taken over the role after Adm Sir Ben Key was removed as First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff while under investigation over allegations of misconduct.

Earlier in May, the MoD confirmed that Gen Jenkins's predecessor, Adm Key, had been removed from duties while under investigation, but did not give any further details.

It followed reports in the Sun that Adm Key was suspected of having an affair with a more junior female colleague.
