This is the best summary I could come up with:


Finland’s Nordic neighbour Sweden, on the brink of joining NATO, signed a similar deal last week.

NATO’s newest member, Finland, has announced it will sign a bilateral defence cooperation agreement next week with the United States.

The deal will allow Washington to station troops and store weapons inside the Nordic country, which shares a sprawling border with Russia.

Finland joined NATO in April after decades of military non-alignment, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Under the deal, Finland will allow US soldiers access to 15 military areas and facilities covering the entire Nordic nation.

Last week, Finland’s close Nordic neighbour Sweden, which is on the brink of joining NATO, signed a comparable deal.
