Erdogan rejects Sweden's NATO bid.
TL;DR Summary
Turkish President Erdogan has said that NATO should not expect his country to approve Sweden's application to join the alliance before a July summit, as the Nordic nation has not fully addressed his security concerns. Turkey accuses Sweden of being too lenient towards groups that Ankara says pose a security threat, including militant Kurdish groups and people associated with a 2016 coup attempt. NATO wants to bring Sweden into the fold by the time the leaders of member nations meet for a summit in Lithuania's capital on July 11-12.
