Sweden's PM predicts Finland will join NATO before them.
TL;DR Summary
Sweden's Prime Minister, Ulf Kristersson, has said that Finland is likely to join NATO without Sweden due to Turkey's reluctance to approve Sweden's NATO candidacy. Turkey's refusal to extradite Kurdish political opponents whom it considers to be terrorists has been a major obstacle in Sweden's NATO membership bid. Sweden and Finland officially asked to join NATO last May and later committed to joining the alliance together.
