Wide support in Nato for Finland and Sweden joining, US says
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says he heard “almost across-the-board very strong support” for Finland and Sweden joining Nato, during the meeting of members countries’ foreign ministers in Berlin.
“The United States would strongly support the Nato application by either Sweden or Finland should they choose to formally apply to the alliance,” Blinken says.
“I’m very confident that we will reach consensus,” he says.
Reuters reports Blinken also says the US will reopen its embassy in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv.
