If their bid is successful, it will bring the alliance’s membership to 32.

While Russia strongly opposes the move, there are members within NATO’s own ranks that have raised concerns.

Elina Valtonen is a Member of Parliament in Finland, she told Ticker News that her country has been reassured.

Former president delivers profane, conspiracy-laden address as Election Day nears

In a fiery rally speech, Donald Trump delivered a profane, conspiracy-laden address just two days before the election.

The former president cast doubt on election integrity, resurrecting grievances about his 2020 defeat and his prosecution after challenging those results.

At one point, Trump made shocking comments about reporters, suggesting someone would have to shoot through them to reach him on stage.

He intensified his criticism of what he called “grossly incompetent” national leaders and the American media, adding that he “shouldn’t have left” the White House.

The speech also included alarming comments referencing guns, as Trump claimed Rep. Liz Cheney wouldn’t support foreign wars if she “had nine barrels shooting at her.”

With hours to go before Election Day, Trump’s controversial statements are stirring up fierce debate across the political landscape.
