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.

“It was and is a watershed moment I believe in the alliance and for the greater security and stability not only of Europe and the United States but of the world.”
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN

The accession must be ratified by all existing members’ parliaments before the two countries can be protected.

“Putin thought he could break us apart when this all started. Instead, he’s getting exactly what he did not want.”
President Biden

Moscow has previously warned both countries against joining the alliance.
