U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told representatives of Canada, Russia and other nations with Arctic territory that the U.S. needs time to develop its climate policy but is listening to other nations’ concerns.

“We are appreciative that each of you has an important point of view, and you should know that we are taking the time to understand your concerns,” Tillerson said in remarks Thursday at the Arctic Council Ministerial meeting in Fairbanks, Alaska. “We’re not going to rush to make a decision.”
