Biden pledges Sweden's imminent NATO membership while Menendez opposes F-16 jets to Turkey.
TL;DR Summary
US President Joe Biden has promised that Sweden will join NATO "as soon as possible," despite Turkey and Hungary continuing to block the northern European country's accession to the alliance. Biden praised NATO's unity amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine and renewed a commitment to backing Ukraine against the invasion. Sweden and neighbouring Finland began seeking NATO membership last year after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Finland officially joined the alliance in April, but Sweden's application is still pending.
