Biden's top aides support Finland, Sweden NATO bid 'unanimously' -official

STORY: During a White House press briefing, Sullivan added the team "supported the entry of Finland and Sweden into the NATO alliance on the grounds that they have already proven themselves as highly capable security partners."

Finland and Sweden formally applied to join the NATO alliance on Wednesday, a decision spurred by Russia's Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine. The two states' accession process faces objections from Turkey.
