芬蘭與東翼 — 美國與東翼

摘要

The United States and Finland signed a Defense Cooperation Agreement on 18 December 2023, eight months after Finland joined NATO. It sets the legal terms under which US forces may be present at and use agreed facilities and areas in Finland, supplementing the NATO status-of-forces arrangements. It is an access framework, not a stationing decision.

為何重要

Finland holds the alliance's longest land border with Russia. Whether US forces can legally operate from Finnish facilities is a question this agreement answers in advance of any crisis — which is the point of signing it in peacetime.
