Finland’s Prime Minister Sanna Marin is a big believer in the “American Dream,” and she thinks it’s a lot easier to achieve right now in her country than in the United States.

“I feel that the American Dream can be achieved best in the Nordic countries, where every child, no matter their background or the background of their families, can become anything,” Marin told The Washington Post in an interview on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Switzerland last month.
