Turkish parliamentary committee approves Sweden’s bid to join NATO

Sweden's inclusion in NATO would strengthen European defense and support the alliance after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. US President Joe Biden and European leaders have urged Turkey to approve Sweden's membership.
Hungary is the other NATO member yet to endorse Sweden's bid, but Turkey's move suggests further delays may be limited. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg welcomed the development.
