Turkey Lifts Its Objections To Sweden, Finland Joining NATO

NATO members gathered in Madrid to discuss the potential inclusion of Sweden and Finland, overcoming Turkey's initial opposition. Turkey agreed to drop its veto after the countries committed to counter-terrorism efforts and easing arms export restrictions. This expansion is seen as a significant shift, especially in light of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which has prompted Sweden and Finland to seek NATO membership. The expansion would double NATO's borders with Russia, countering Putin's intentions. Meanwhile, NATO is pledging increased military support to Ukraine and bolstering its own defenses, with the US committing more troops to Eastern Europe.
