US Secretary of State Antony Blinken marked Finland’s arrival in the NATO alliance on Tuesday with an appeal to Hungary and Turkey to drop their objections to Sweden following suit.

“Sweden is also a strong and capable partner that is ready to join NATO,” Blinken said.

“We encourage Turkey and Hungary to ratify the accession protocols for Sweden without delay so we can welcome Sweden into the alliance as soon as possible.”
