Kristersson thanked the US president for his leadership in maintaining “transatlantic unity” during the upheaval sparked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. He also praised Biden’s “strong support” for Sweden’s NATO bid, which is being held up by Turkey and Hungary.The Oval Office meeting kicked off a string of diplomatic events for Biden centered on NATO.
“He’s been pretty, pretty steadfast” on the need to approve the application, she said. “Sweden is a strong, capable defense partner that shares NATO’s values.” Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, however, has frustrated Western leaders by linking approval for Sweden to demands that Stockholm crack down on members of opposition Kurdish movements, such as the Kurdistan Workers' Party PKK, which Turkey says is a terrorist group.
