Washington D.C./26.04.23/Turan: The White House on Tuesday said it supports NATO's open-door policy and that a decision on accession to the Alliance should be made between NATO and the countries aspiring to be.
Asked by TURAN's Washington correspondent whether Ukraine should become a NATO member before the end of Joe Biden's term, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said, "that is going to be up to NATO and the NATO allies to decide."
"The US position when it comes to NATO accession has been clear for decades: we support an open door policy for NATO," she emphasized.
She went on to add, "... What our focus is right now -- we've been very clear on that -- is to make sure that the brave people of Ukraine who are fighting for their freedom, fighting to defend their country have the economic assistance, the humanitarian assistance that they need to push back against Russian aggression."
