The lead story in all the Finnish papers is the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th president of the United States. He took office on Monday and immediately set about signing executive orders to pursue his populist, expansionist right-wing agenda.
Iltalehti reports on president Alexander Stubb's tweet detailing a phone call between Nordic leaders on Monday, during which they discussed the new US leader's arrival.
It had few details beyond the attendee list: Stubb, Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo (NCP) and his counterparts from Sweden, Iceland, Norway and Denmark.
Stubb said they discussed the new US administration and future cooperation between Nordic countries "in Europe and within the transatlantic alliance".
Helsingin Sanomat, meanwhile, carries an opinion piece by Mikko Hautala, Finland's former ambassador in Washington DC who now works in Nokia's public affairs department.
He starts with a quote from Homero Aridijs, a Mexican poet: "There are centuries where nothing happens, and years in which whole centuries happen."
History is speeding up, says Hautala, but we are not yet sure of the final destination. The politics now dominant in the US will have an impact on Europe, as a hard-edged interest-based realism takes hold in the US.
America and Europe need each other more than ever, Hautala adds, but invoking values and transatlantic co-operation will not have the same power as before.

Turku's sinking market hall
Turun Sanomat carries news of the poor state of Turku's market hall, which is apparently sinking into the ground and requires strengthened foundations.
Currently home to a number of popular restaurants as well as several quality food retailers, the market hall is regarded as an important attraction in the city.
The renovation will cost as much as 14 million euros, but that does not include the cost of archaeological digs, temporary premises for traders or unavoidable improvements to the facilities.
The market hall opened for business in 1896, and the need for renovation is only expected to accelerate in the coming years.
That means an expensive renovation and closure for two years — a price the city is willing to pay for the commercial and cultural value offered by the market hall.
Turku's city centre rests on clay, for the most part, and over the last two decades the market hall has sunk by between 68 and 221 millimetres.
This is a common problem in the Turku region, with the depth of clay soil exceeding 40 metres in parts of the region — including the city centre.
Family first for Friis
Yesterday Finland's Football Association announced that the new manager of the men's national team would be Jacob Friis, a 48-year-old Dane who moves from the assistant manager's position at Augsburg in Germany.
At his unveiling, Helsingin Sanomat asked about his family and in particular about his daughter, who suffered from leukaemia in 2020 but is now healthy and in remission.
Friis said that this played a part in his desire to take on the Finland job, as he can now spend more time with his family in Aalborg in between international games and training camps.
There was a period of negotiation involved before Augsburg released their assistant coach, and it was clearly a relief for the Friis family that the issue was resolved and Finland could hire their new Danish coach.
"My daughter was asking, can't they sort it out, Finland and Augsburg, they just need to do this and this," said Friis.
