Biden approves US’ support for Finland, Sweden NATO accession

US President Joe Biden on Tuesday signed documents supporting Finland and Sweden’s accession to NATO, amid Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine.

 

Biden signed the US “instrument of ratification” welcoming the two countries, the final step for their endorsement by the US.

 

The US Senate backed the expansion by 95-1 last week, a rare display of unity in the state legislature.

 

Both Democratic and Republican Senators approved membership for the two Nordic countries.
