US President Joe Biden may mediate negotiations between Turkey, Finland, and Sweden on the two Nordic countries' NATO membership bid, which Ankara has opposed due to security concerns, according to Turkish newspaper Milliyet, citing NATO sources.

The recent meeting between Finnish President Sauli Niinisto and Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson with Biden on their potential NATO membership is significant, and the US President may act as a mediator between them and Turkey, according to the same sources.

The manner in which Sweden addresses Turkey's concerns about the presence of Kurdish lawmakers in the Swedish Parliament, whom Ankara considers terrorists, will be critical to resolving the issue, according to the report.
