This was stated by White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.

“We still expect NATO to accept Finland and Sweden,” she said.

According to a diplomatic source, negotiations between Turkey, Sweden and Finland on NATO membership have been postponed indefinitely at the request of Ankara.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan noted that Sweden should not wait for favors from Turkey on the issue of NATO membership after the actions of supporters of terrorism and enemies of Muslims that took place in Stockholm.
