US, Finland sign Defence Cooperation Agreement to serve as rulebook for American military in region

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen, and Finnish Defence Minister Antti Häkkänen participated in the signing of their new Defence Cooperation Agreement on Monday in Washington, D.C. The agreement will serve as a rulebook for U.S. military presence and aid in Finland after Russia's Nordic neighbour became the NATO military alliance's newest member earlier this year. "We now have a network of defence cooperation agreements that stretches from northern to southern Europe, from the insurgency to the Black Sea, providing security and stability for people all across the continent. And together, we'll also keep supporting Ukraine," Blinken said during the signing session.
