Finland’s President Alexander Stubb directly opposed Trump’s request.  "Our focus must remain on NATO cohesion—not unprovoked military actions," Stubb stated.

“We are a defensive alliance, which means we do not typically undertake military attacks.” He condemned US-Israeli strikes on Iran as violation of international law, comparing them to NATO’s Cold War peacekeeping—"always legitimized by UN principles."
