"I would, yes, I would. They're a member of NATO, they're great people, but I don't think that's going to happen. I don't think he's going to do that. I think the chances of that are very, very small, but it's very interesting because you have a very big military relative to your size. You have a very powerful military, one of the best. And certainly we will be there to help. Thank you."
"Can I just add on that, we're very pleased with the fact that we have so much training going on with American soldiers right now, so they're getting experience from our Arctic conditions, and we're integrating our militaries together, working not only through the DCA agreement but other ways as well. We see that day to day in the work that we do, and it's working well."
President Donald Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that he would vigorously defend Finland if Russia were to invade the NATO ally. He called Finland a NATO member and said he did not expect an invasion, citing low chances. He praised Finland's relatively large and powerful military for its size, calling it one of the best. Finnish President Alexander Stubb noted ongoing joint training with American soldiers in Arctic conditions, the integration of militaries, and cooperation under the Defense Cooperation Agreement and other mechanisms. Stubb said the training provides experience and that the U.S.-Finnish cooperation is working well.
