Details: Hungary is one of the two countries that has not yet ratified Sweden's membership in NATO.
Background:
- Türkiye will hold off on ratifying Sweden's NATO membership application this month as it awaits signs of support from the US for its request to buy F-16 fighter jets.
- In July, at the NATO Summit in Vilnius, Türkiye agreed to unblock the process of ratification of Sweden's accession to the Alliance in exchange for assistance in rapprochement with the European Union.
