Turkish Parliamentary Committee Backs Sweden’s Bid to Join NATO

HeadlineDec 27, 2023

Sweden is a step closer to joining the NATO military alliance. On Tuesday, a parliamentary committee in Turkey approved Sweden’s application to join NATO. Turkey’s full parliament must now vote on the issue, but a vote has not yet been scheduled. Turkey and Hungary are the only NATO nations which have not yet approved Sweden’s bid. Last week Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said the final vote hinges on whether the U.S. Congress approves selling 40 F-16 fighter jets to Turkey. Erdoğan is also calling on Canada to lift an arms embargo on Turkey.
