The US has asked Hungary to speed up the procedures for Sweden's NATO membership. Hungary is the last NATO country yet to give the legal green light to Swedish membership after the Turkish parliament ratified Stockholm's request on Tuesday and President Tayyip Erdogan signed the approval on Thursday.
White House spokesman John Kirby, in a statement to the media, welcomed Turkey's approval, while calling on Orban to follow the same path.
“ I would like to take just a moment to welcome Turkey's approval of Sweden's application to join NATO this week. As many of you know, the Turkish parliament voted to approve the articles and ratify on Tuesday. President Erdogan signed those documents yesterday, and we expect the instruments of ratification to arrive in Washington, DC, very, very soon to be deposited with the State Department, according to the process.
We certainly encourage Hungary to move forward with their process quickly so that the alliance can welcome Sweden to NATO without further delay. We are very, very optimistic that Sweden will soon become NATO's newest member. And Hungary has said that they will not be an obstacle ," he said.
