"President Biden has expressed strong support for Secretary General Stoltenberg's efforts to facilitate a speedy accession process that takes into account the security interests of all allies," the White House said.

Earlier, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken expressed the opinion that Finland and Sweden would be able to resolve differences with Turkey on NATO membership and quickly join the alliance. 

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that while he is the president of Turkey, Ankara will not approve the entry into NATO of countries that support terrorism.

He also said that terrorist organizations are supported not only by Finland and Sweden, but also by Germany, France and the Netherlands.
