Relations between the United States and Finland are warm. Some 200,000 US citizens visit Finland annually, and about 3,000 US citizens are resident there. The US has an educational exchange program in Finland that is comparatively large for a Western European country of Finland's size. It is financed in part from a trust fund established in 1976 from Finland's final repayment of a US loan made in the aftermath of World War I.

Finland is bordered on the east by Russia and, as one of the former Soviet Union's neighbours, has been of particular interest and importance to the US both during the [[Cold War]] and in its aftermath. Before the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991, longstanding US policy was to support Finnish neutrality and to maintain and reinforce Finland's historic, cultural, and economic ties with the West. The US has welcomed Finland's increased participation since 1991 in Western economic and political structures.

Economic and trade relations between Finland and the United States are active and were bolstered by the F-18 purchase. US-Finland trade totals almost $5&nbsp;billion annually. The US receives about 7% of Finland's exports – mainly [[wood pulp]] and paper, ships, machinery, electronics and instruments and refined petroleum products<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tulli.fi/resources/tekstiversio.jsp?pageoid=24045 |title=Maatilastoja |access-date=2008-02-27 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080120160611/http://www.tulli.fi/resources/tekstiversio.jsp?pageoid=24045 |archive-date=January 20, 2008 }}</ref> – and provides about 7% of its imports – principally computers, [[semiconductor]]s, aircraft, and machinery.
