NATO Membership for Finland and Sweden: Updates from Turkey and Hungary.
TL;DR Summary
Finland's president, Sauli Niinistö, expects Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to endorse Finland's Nato membership application when they meet in Ankara this week. Both Finland and Sweden submitted simultaneous Nato applications last year, but Turkey and Hungary have yet to ratify them. While Erdoğan has said Turkey is prepared to approve Finland's application, it still has strong reservations about Sweden. Nato hopes both Nordic countries will be members in time for a summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, scheduled for 11 July.
