Swedish officials visit Washington as country edges closer to NATO

 

Top Swedish officials visited Washington Wednesday as their country weighs whether to join NATO, a move that would ratchet up tensions with Moscow even higher while also exposing divisions across Europe over the future of the alliance and its proper role amid Russia’s war in Ukraine. Secretary of State Antony Blinken — who would test positive for COVID-19 shortly after the meeting — conferred with visiting Swedish Foreign Minister Ann Linde at the State Department, while leading Swedish military officials spoke at a high-level U.S. defense industry conference in Washington. The visits were designed to send a clear message to the Kremlin, which hoped its invasion of Ukraine would break NATO solidarity and fracture an alliance wary of finding itself at war with Russia, the world’s leading nuclear power. But the 30-nation NATO has remained largely unified. The West has mostly been in lockstep with an unprecedented series of economic sanctions aimed at top Russian companies and oligarchs. And perhaps even more importantly, both Sweden and Finland, long neutral, have said they’ll decide later this month whether to seek formal membership in NATO, which would dramatically enhance the alliance’s presence on Russia’s doorstep.
