President Joe Biden strongly criticised his expected 2024 election rival, Donald Trump, for his recent remarks regarding NATO, labelling them as “foolish,” “disgraceful,” and “anti-American.” The Democrat condemned Trump’s suggestion that he would support Russia in attacking NATO members failing to meet defence spending obligations.

Finland’s former conservative Prime Minister, Alexander Stubb, has won the presidential election held on Sunday, according to final results.

Stubb secured 51.6% of the vote, defeating his Green Party rival, Pekka Haavisto, the former foreign minister, who had 48.4%. Haavisto has conceded defeat.

This election marks Finland’s first since joining the NATO military alliance.
