Details: A journalist asked what would happen if Russia and Vladimir Putin suddenly attacked Finland – whether America would defend it.

Quote: "I would. Yes, I would. They're a member of NATO. They're great people, but I don't think that's going to happen. I don't think he's going to do that.

I think the chances of that are very, very small. But it's very interesting because you [Finland – ed.] have a very big military relative to your size.

You have a very powerful army, one of the best. And certainly, we will be there to help."
