US President Joe Biden has urged Finland and Sweden to join NATO in a jibe at Russia.
Finland and Sweden say they have been spurred into joining NATO by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, reversing generations of
military non-alignment to bring about the biggest shakeup in European security for decades.
President Joe Biden hosted Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson and Finnish President Sauli Niinistö, a chance for Washington to demonstrate that Russia's invasion has backfired, bringing about the very expansion of NATO that Moscow has said it was fighting to halt.
