Finland's Intelligence Service Closely Watches US Russia Position
Finland's security and intelligence service Supo is closely watching how U.S. intelligence positions itself towards Russia under the Trump administration, with Finns concerned about potential shifts in U.S.-Russia relations that could impact Finland's national security. Supo has named Russia as the biggest threat to Finland since joining NATO in 2023, amidst a growing war in Ukraine. The agency is also monitoring how changes in U.S. policy affect its own intelligence cooperation with Western allies.
