Daily on Defense — Eleventh-hour deal clears path for Sweden to join NATO in rebuke to Putin
A HISTORIC DAY: In recent weeks, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has demonstrated why member nations were so anxious to keep him around for another year. The former prime minister of Norway managed to broker a deal that clears the way for Sweden to join Finland as the newest member of the trans-Atlantic alliance.
In addition, Sweden pledged to step up economic cooperation with Turkey, including to “actively support efforts to reinvigorate Turkey’s EU accession process.” First, a multi-year program to ensure full interoperability between the Ukrainian forces and the NATO forces. “This will move Ukraine closer to NATO.”And third, removing the usual requirement for Ukraine to submit a Membership Action Plan. “This will turn the membership process for Ukraine from a two-step process into a one-step process.”
HAPPENING TODAY: CONGRESS RETURNS: The House and Senate have a lot to do before heading out of town again for the traditional August recess. Sen. Tommy Tuberville , in what he argues is a principled battle with the Pentagon over a policy that funds travel for abortions, has placed an unprecedented hold on all military promotions, blocking the usual procedure of confirming by unanimous consent.
Tuberville said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer should just bring up each promotion for a single vote. “We're voting on people this week that oversee 20 people. One person. Why don't we vote on these people one at a time? We can do that.” “It's not just our general and flag officers that are — that are being impacted in our force, it is their families as well,” she said. “I've heard cases of two students who dis-enrolled from their current school because they were supposed to move with their family for a change of station move but now they can't enroll in a new school because they don't know when they'll be able to relocate.
