After two centuries of non-alignment and two years of torturous diplomacy, Sweden will become the 32nd member of NATO, a major step for a country once careful not to anger Russia. 
🇸🇪 Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson is visiting Washington where Secretary of State Antony Blinken will ceremonially receive the ratification documents after the hard-fought battle to secure the green lights needed from all NATO members.
Kristersson is likely later in the day to attend the annual State of the Union address by President Joe Biden, who has been struggling to persuade the rival Republican Party to approve new aid to Ukraine.
