NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that the alliance was working with Turkey to address Turkish resistance to Finland and Sweden joining the alliance.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has highlighted the activities of the Kurdistan Workers' Party as part of his country's objections to their membership.

Erdogan said both nations doing so would carry security risks for Turkey. Turkey has said it won't allow their accession unless steps are taken, but NATO leaders are looking to the NATO summit in Spain in late June as the chance for the historic expansion.
