US Secretary of State Antony Blinken expressed confidence in progress being made on Sweden's Nato membership bid after talks with his Turkish counterpart in Ankara. Turkey's President Tayyip Erdogan submitted the bill ratifying Sweden's membership to parliament, a move that has been delayed for months. Blinken stated that there was a shared commitment between Ankara and Washington to ensure Sweden's inclusion in the alliance. Sweden and Finland applied to join Nato last year for security reasons following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
