Petteri Orpo becomes the first Finnish prime minister to visit China in nearly a decade as President Stubb says Finland won’t join Trump’s ‘Peace Board’, at least for now.
The US President has rowed back on his threat to impose punitive tariffs on Finland and seven other countries if they stand in the way of his plans for Greenland.
President Alexander Stubb said that Finland has “the biggest military force of Arctic capabilities” in Nato. Regarding Greenland, he expressed confidence that “we’ll find an off-ramp”.
“It’s crucial for Finland that the joint training activities planned by Nato extend directly onto Finnish soil,” Brigadier General Manu Tuominen tells Yle.
