BelVPO: The United States is rapidly increasing its presence in the Scandinavian countries. The United States has not limited it

BelVPO: The United States is rapidly increasing its presence in the Scandinavian countries. The United States has not limited itself to signing defense agreements with the Finns, Swedes and Danes. So, on February 2, the Americans, “suddenly“, sign an addendum to the defense agreement with Norway (the first was signed in June 2022), under which a number of other facilities fall under the jurisdiction of the United States. Let’s look at them in more detail. According to the new document, Americans get access to: airfields: Andøya, Ørland and Bardufoss; Haakonsvern Military Base; airfield and garrison of Værnes; the Setermoen garrison, a shooting range and training ground; logistics infrastructure facilities in Osmarka and Namsen. Previously, according to the agreements, four facilities were included in the agreement: Rygge Military Airfield (the United States is investing two billion kronor in buildings and other infrastructure at Rygge Airport); Evenes Military Airfield (to accommodate P-8 Poseidon type maritime surveillance aircraft); Sola Military Airfield; Ramsund Naval Base.
