President Biden has said that the United States will work with Finland and Sweden in event of any outside “aggression” which could threaten national security while their NATO membership is under review.
The US president reiterated his support for Sweden and Finland’s bid to join NATO, saying it would “further strengthen our defence cooperation” and benefit the entire alliance.
The US is the latest country to offer support to the two countries in the event of any aggression, with several others offering similar assurances.
Last week the UK agreed a mutual security pact with both Nordic nations, ahead of their decision to apply for NATO membership – a decision which has been taken in the light of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
