Turkey's Support for Sweden's NATO Entry: Security, EU Membership, and Biden's Big Win
TL;DR Summary
Turkey has pledged to support Sweden's NATO membership bid in exchange for deeper cooperation on security issues and a promise from Sweden to revive Turkey's quest for EU membership. The agreement also includes increased trade and investment between the two countries. Turkey's opposition to Sweden joining NATO was primarily due to concerns about terrorism and anti-Islam protests. The pledge may also be linked to Turkey's efforts to upgrade its fleet of F-16 fighter jets and its desire to become an EU member. Some see Turkey's support for Sweden as a sign of a shift in foreign policy towards the West and away from Russia.
