Finland’s President Alexander Stubb has indicated that recent discussions with U.S. President Donald Trump suggest the American leader is growing impatient with Russian President Vladimir Putin due to Russia's delays in advancing peace efforts in Ukraine. Stubb noted that Trump’s frustration appears to stem from the slow progress toward resolving the conflict. Additionally, Stubb highlighted that Trump has played a role in awakening Europe more on foreign policy issues, while Putin has influenced Europe's security policy. According to Stubb, Trump has effectively pressured European countries to increase their defense spending. These remarks reflect evolving dynamics in transatlantic relations amid ongoing tensions surrounding the Ukraine conflict.
