President Biden Issues Statement On Finland's NATO Accession

NATO

US President Joe Biden has issued a statement welcoming Finland into the NATO defensive alliance and urging Turkey and Hungary to conclude the ratification process of Sweden's bid to join the alliance.

  • Biden: "I am proud to welcome Finland as NATOs 31st Ally."
  • Biden: "In May 2022, Finland and Sweden applied for NATO membership. Both countries are strong democracies with highly capable militaries, who share our values and vision for the world. Less than a year later, we are welcoming Finland as a member, the fastest ratification process in NATO's modern history."
  • Biden: "I look forward to welcoming Sweden as a NATO member as soon as possible, and encourage Turkiye and Hungary to conclude their ratification processes without delay."
  • "Today, we are more united than ever. And together, strengthened by our newest Ally Finland, we will continue to preserve transatlantic security, defend every inch of NATO territory, and meet any and all challenges we face."
  • A decision from Turkey to ratify Sweden's bid is unlikely to come before the Turkish general election on May 14.
