Finland Says US Committed to Deepening Military Cooperation

Finland and the United States are working closely together on military matters.

Finland's Defence Minister says the U.S. is planning to strengthen their military ties, not weaken them.

This is happening despite reports the U.S. might reduce some military activity in Europe.

Finland and the U.S. have a special agreement allowing the U.S. military access to many locations in Finland.

The U.S. has not slowed down its military work in the area, according to a U.S. Navy commander.
