US Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs Jake Sullivan said that the issue of Turkey’s EU membership is not related to Sweden’s NATO membership.
“NATO is NATO. The EU is the EU. The US is not part of the EU. The US has previously been in favour of Turkey’s negotiations with Europe, in favour of resuming those negotiations. President Biden started on this topic long before the issue of [Sweden’s] NATO membership came up. So, as far as we know, these topics are not interrelated,” TASS quoted him as saying.
Earlier, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed the opinion that Turkey should be admitted to the EU before Sweden joins the North Atlantic Alliance.
