"Biden Expresses Full Support for Sweden's NATO Bid in Meeting with Prime Minister"

President Biden expressed his strong support for Sweden's bid to join NATO during a meeting with Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson. However, Turkey's opposition, citing concerns about Kurdish exiles and refugees, has stalled Sweden's membership. With less than a week until the NATO summit, the inclusion of Sweden seems unlikely at this time. Other NATO members have approved Sweden's membership, except for Hungary, which is waiting for Turkey's approval. President Biden has voiced support for Sweden's membership and has also expressed interest in selling F-16 fighter jets to Turkey. The issue remains critical for NATO, as it seeks to maintain unity amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
