Highlights: Sullivan: US expects Hungary to ratify Sweden's NATO membership. On February 5, the Hungarian parliament was unable to vote on ratifying Sweden's application to join NATO due to a lack of quorum. Sullivan added that the American side is closely monitoring the situation with the ratification of Sweden's membership and expects a “constructive resolution” in the near future. The American authorities are disappointed that Hungary has delayed the process of ratifying Swedish's accession to NATO, US Ambassador to Budapest David Pressman said.

National Security Adviser to the President of the United States Jake Sullivan emphasized that American patience is not unlimited, and Washington expects Hungary to ratify Sweden’s application for membership in the North Atlantic Alliance as soon as possible.
