President Biden begins a five-day swing through Europe with a focus on NATO gathering later this week, as allied countries look to boost support for Ukraine and the possibility of Sweden’s approval to join the military alliance.
"We're looking forward to a busy week in Europe. And we're looking forward to the president being able to further solidify, strengthen and give momentum to the strong united alliance that has been standing up so effectively against Russian aggression," White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told reporters Friday afternoon.
Biden is also expected to meet with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak -- the sixth time the leaders will meet in the past six months. They last met at the White House in June. President Joe Biden addresses the Russian invasion of Ukraine, from the East Room of the White House, Feb. 24, 2022."Vilnius will be an important moment on that pathway towards membership because the United States, our NATO allies and Ukraine will have the opportunity discuss the reforms that are still necessary for Ukraine to come up to NATO standards. So, this will, in fact, be a milestone.
