Sweden Seeks to Ban Terrorism Support as Turkey Stalls NATO Bid

Sweden’s government proposed a new law to ban activities that support terror organizations, as its bid to join NATO has stalled over Turkish objections.

Five years in the making, the law is set to give the Nordic nation a new tool with which to counter any Turkish claims that it doesn’t do enough to combat terror. Turkey has particularly objected to Sweden in the months-long NATO enlargement process, though its demands have shifted over that time.
