"Germany Pressures Orbán to Approve Sweden's NATO Membership Amid US Disappointment"

Germany is pressuring Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán to ratify Sweden's NATO bid, which has been delayed despite Orbán's official backing. Orbán's ruling Fidesz party holds a majority in parliament, but Fidesz leaders are demanding a visit from Swedish Prime Minister Kristersson before the parliamentary vote. Kristersson has rejected further negotiations but is open to meeting Orbán after the ratification. Germany has criticized the linkage of the visit to the ratification, calling it abnormal between EU partners.
