Finland’s government wants to remove some restrictions on nuclear weapons as it proceeds with NATO integration, allowing such arms to be brought to its territory. The government on Thursday said it will put forward a bill proposing to permit the import, transport, supply and possession of nuclear arms provided the move is defense related, Defense Minister Antti Hakkanen said in a news conference on Thursday in Helsinki. The motion indicates no wish from Finland to have nuclear weapons in its territory, Hakkanen said, adding that there’s no such plan underfoot in the NATO.
