Finnish President Praises Trump's NATO Impact, Cites Defense Spending Rise

Finnish President Alexander Stubb told AFP that Trump has been 'good for NATO,' crediting him with increased allied defense spending. The remarks come as Finland deepens U.S. ties post-accession and Stubb urges European firmness against hybrid threats. The statement signals alignment with U.S. pressure on burden-sharing, though it may reflect diplomatic positioning rather than a policy shift.
