Finland to Build 4 U.S.-Funded Icebreakers Amidst Arctic Tensions

Advertisement

Finland is constructing a new fleet of icebreakers for the United States Coast Guard, with an estimated $6.1 billion order. Four vessels will be manufactured in Finnish shipyards, while the remaining seven will be built stateside. This contract has been seen as a boon for Finland, where unemployment rates are at their highest on record. However, concerns have escalated due to President Donald Trump’s ongoing interest in Greenland, which he covets and seeks to acquire. These ambitions have exacerbated tensions with the United States-Europe alliance, particularly through NATO. Recently, Trump backed away from previous threats of military force against Greenland, indicating a thaw in his stance on this strategically important territory.
