Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has been busy at a NATO summit in Lithuania, surprising observers after reversing course and approving Sweden’s long-awaited bid to join the military bloc.
At a press conference late on Wednesday following the summit in the capital of Vilnius, Erdogan touched on several issues for Turkey, including ratifying Sweden’s NATO bid, its F-16 jet defence deal with the United States, and the balancing act it continues to play between Russia and Ukraine.
