as posted by the channel

Finland joined NATO after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, breaking decades of neutrality. Finnish President Alexander Stubb has become one of Trump's favorite European confidantes and has even been involved in diplomatic discussions ahead of the high-stakes meeting between Trump and Vladimir Putin.

WSJ’s Vera Bergengruen sat down with Stubb, to discuss his rapport with Trump, a bond over golf and how it’s driven Ukraine diplomacy.
