On Thursday, U.S. President Donald J. Trump and Finnish President Alexander Stubb signed a memorandum of understanding at the White House to acquire eleven new icebreaking vessels for the U.S. Coast Guard. Under the $6.1 billion agreement, Finnish companies will construct four “Arctic Security Cutters” in Finland, while the U.S. will utilize Finnish expertise to build up to seven icebreakers at Davie Shipyards in Galveston, Texas, and Bollinger Shipyards in Houma, Louisiana.

In an official statement, it said: “The United States looks forward to President Petro publicly retracting his baseless and reprehensible statement so that we can return to a productive dialogue focused on building a strong, prosperous future for the people of the United States and Colombia.
