【The President of Finland: Europe Can Still Defend Itself Without Americans】

On January 21, 2026, in Geneva, the President of Finland, Alexander Stubb, answered a question from the host during an extension activity of the World Economic Forum in Davos:

Can Europe defend itself without Americans? My answer is definitely yes! Finland can mobilize 280,000 people within weeks, F-18 fighter jets, and ordered F-35 fighters, as well as other weapons. Your next question is whether Europe does not have American soldiers? No. We believe that the US military will continue to be present in Europe, because it is in the interest of the United States? Yes.
