Remarks by President Trump and President Niinistö of Finland in Joint Press Conference

Q And President Niinistö? President Niinistö, did you discuss Russia? And did you offer any assistance to the U.S. with their relationship with Russia?

PRESIDENT NIINISTÖ: Well, like I said earlier on, we did discuss about Russia. But actually, I don‘t feel myself or Finland being any advisor to anybody, but we try to do our best, and hopefully we get also results from that.

I want to remind you that, in NATO meeting, a year ago approximately, it was stated by all NATO countries that with Russia you have to be deterrence, but you have to exercise dialogue too. These two-way elements have to be there.
