US President Joe Biden met his Finnish counterpart Sauli Niinisto on Thursday to reaffirm US support for Finland quickly entering the NATO military alliance, the White House said.

Biden briefly saw Niinisto during his trip to Washington, where he met with US senators and White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, after earlier trips to Seattle and California this week.

The White House said Biden and Niinisto also "discussed their continued commitment to supporting Ukraine in the face of Russia's aggression."
