Sweden's NATO Membership: A Last-Ditch Deal in Reach

An agreement for the ratification of Sweden's NATO membership is within reach, with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg convening a meeting between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson to reach a political agreement. Turkey has blocked Sweden's membership bid, accusing it of sheltering Kurdish PKK terrorists. Once an agreement is reached, the Turkish parliament still needs to formally ratify Sweden's NATO membership.
