BOYLE STATEMENT ON SWEDEN CLEARING FINAL HURDLE TO JOIN NATO

WASHINGTON, DC - Congressman Brendan F. Boyle (PA-02), Chair of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly Political Committee and Co-Chair of the Congressional EU Caucus, released the statement below as Sweden cleared the final hurdle in its bid to join NATO.
 
“With today’s vote by the Hungarian Parliament, Sweden will become the 32nd NATO ally, dealing a profound geopolitical blow to Vladimir Putin. Today’s outcome is yet another clear example of the world unifying around Ukraine and Europe, and against Vladimir Putin as he continues his brutal and unprovoked invasion of a sovereign nation. Sweden's inclusion exponentially enhances NATO's collective strength and safety.”
