Quebec - Jan. 29, 2006
QUEBEC CITY, Quebec - Jan. 29, 2006 (UPI) -- The United States says it won't budge on its refusal to recognize Canada's claim to sovereignty over Arctic waters.
The Toronto Globe and Mail reported Sunday that U.S. Ambassador David Wilkins -- who appeared defensive when confronted on the issue by Canadian Prime Minister-designate Stephen Harper -- insisted that he was simply restating Washington's longstanding position.
