HELSINKI -- Finland will decide on whether to apply for NATO membership this month, its leader said, hinting at a historic change in the Nordic country's long-held position of neutrality.
"We are now discussing whether we should become a member of NATO or not," Prime Minister Sanna Marin said in an exclusive interview with Nikkei Asia earlier this week, adding the country will make a decision probably "this month." Local media reported the decision could come as soon as Thursday, citing anonymous government sources.
