Biden's NATO Summit: Turkey's Support for Sweden's Entry and Erdogan's EU Bid

Turkey has dropped its opposition to Sweden's bid to join NATO, a move applauded by President Joe Biden on the eve of the alliance's annual summit. The agreement was reached between NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson. Erdogan agreed to send Sweden's accession protocol to Parliament in exchange for commitments on terrorism and economic cooperation. Biden expressed his support for Sweden's membership and discussed the delivery of American F-16 fighter jets to Turkey during a call with Erdogan. The NATO summit is expected to focus on aid for Ukraine in its counteroffensive against Russian invaders.
