Finn American Break Near as Finland Plans Consulate Closures
The Helsinki government prepares to close all Finnish consulates in the United States by August 1 after a State Department request. American consular officials in Finland are canceled and the consular section of the Helsinki embassy will close immediately. The move mirrors past German-American actions and cites Finnish restrictions on treaty rights rather than Finland’s stance on Soviet Russia. Greenland and Antarctica are the only territories without legally established time.
