Lankford Supports Sweden and Finland Joining NATO

WASHINGTON, DC -Senator James Lankford (R-OK) today supported adding Finland and Sweden to NATO:

"Russia's invasion of Ukraine has reminded the world that there are still leaders of nations that want to murder their neighbors and steal their land. Peace in Europe is beneficial to everyone, and NATO is the most successful military alliance of all time. Adding strong militaries like Sweden and Finland to NATO increases our capacity to maintain peace in the future. As we face growing challenges in Asia, we cannot spend our time looking over our shoulder at Europe. Adding strong allies in Europe allows our nation to turn our attention to other threats and remain the world leader."
