U.S. President Joe Biden says NATO will be “more united” as Sweden and Finland edge closer to joining the alliance
The U.S. President has signed a series of documents, which are paving the way for Sweden and Finland to become the newest members of NATO.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation is a military alliance, which declares an attack on one is an attack on all.
Sweden and Finland raised their hands to become the alliance’s latest members after Russian forces entered Ukraine in February.
It’s the biggest expansion of NATO since the 1990s, and will bring its membership to 32 nations.
The accession must be ratified by all existing members’ parliaments before the two countries can be protected.
Moscow has previously warned both countries against joining the alliance.
