President Biden hosted Finnish President Sauli Niinistö and Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson at the White House Thursday to promote their bids to join the NATO alliance.
“It’s a very, very good day,” Biden said in the Rose Garden, flanked by the two Nordic leaders.
“Today I’m proud to welcome and offer the strong support of the United States for the applications of two great democracies and two close, highly capable partners to join the strongest, most powerful defensive alliance in the history of the world,” Biden said.
The president said he was sending the Senate the necessary paperwork to approve the Swedish and Finnish bids to become US treaty allies — a move supported by the leadership of both political parties.
