Turkey Approves Finland's NATO Membership, Leaves Sweden Waiting

Turkey's parliament has ratified a bill allowing Finland to join NATO, making it the last of the 30 members to do so. Finland and Sweden applied to join NATO last year in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but the process has been held up by Turkey and Hungary. Turkey has approved Finland's membership but is still holding off on Sweden's, saying it has not done enough to crack down on groups Ankara considers terrorists. The US State Department has encouraged Turkey to quickly ratify Sweden's accession as well.
