Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has raised objections to Finland and Sweden's bid for NATO membership. Erdogan said that he doesn’t have a ‘positive opinion’ of the two Nordic nations joining the military alliance.
Erdogan's remarks came a day after Helsinki announced that it would seek to join NATO. Turkey's signal also comes only days ahead of a crucial parliamentary debate in Sweden over NATO membership. The remarks indicate a significant hurdle to the two Nordic countries’ plans to join NATO.
