Niinisto says appreciates NATO keeping ‘open door’ policy
Finland is already deepening its defense ties with the world’s top military power just days after choosing a U.S. fighter jet for its $11 billion warplane-fleet revamp.
On a Monday phone call, President Joe Biden told his Finnish counterpart Sauli Niinisto that the procurement of Lockheed Martin Corp. F-35 fighter jets would provide “a strong foundation for even closer bilateral defense ties for years to come,” the White House said in a press release.
