Biden proclaims NATO alliance 'more united than ever' as he celebrates new member Finland
That was just days after Trump tore through a NATO summit where he disparaged the alliance and from which he threatened to withdraw the United States.
Opening the broader meeting, Niinistö said his Nordic counterparts had one overriding objective: “guarantee the future — security-wise, environmental-wise and technology-wise.” Biden added that the “nations around the table not only share common history, but we share common challenges, and I would add presumptuously, common values.”
But Charly Salonius-Pasternak, senior researcher at the Finnish Institute of International Affairs, noted that Biden's visit marked the first time a sitting U.S. president came to Finland to honor the country itself, rather than as a neutral location for meeting Russian leaders or other similar reasons.
