Stubb says Trump has been very good for NATO as allies boost defence spending

According to Stubb, it is thanks to the US president that NATO countries have increased their defence spending.

I believe he has been very good for NATO in the sense that member countries have increased their defense spending.

Stubb is known for his good contacts with Donald Trump and has been called internationally the "Trump Whisperer" after playing golf with the US president and being invited to summits where normally only major powers are present.

He describes Trump as "a man with his own will" and their relationship as "pragmatic."

Stubb says he sees the United States as an important partner in the Arctic, despite Trump's statements about taking Greenland from Denmark.

We are of course one hundred percent behind Denmark. There is no doubt about that.

Looking at the other side of the coin, I think Americans are finally starting to understand the importance of the Arctic, he says.
