Sweden already a NATO member on Thursday? Travel fuels speculation.. As of: March 6, 2024, 4:24 p.m Sweden has been waiting almost two years to join NATO.

An announced US trip could indicate that things could happen very quickly now. Sweden and Finland set off towards NATO membership in May 2022. Turkey initially blocked both accession processes, citing, among other things, support for alleged Kurdish “terrorists” from both countries. The parliament in Ankara only gave the green light in January, followed by Hungary's parliament in February.
