In a related context, the US spokeswoman confirmed her country’s support for Finland and Sweden’s membership in NATO as soon as possible.
On June 28, 2022, Turkey, Sweden and Finland signed a tripartite memorandum of understanding regarding the accession of the latter two countries to NATO, after the two European countries pledged to respond to Ankara’s demands regarding cooperation in the fight against terrorism.
