US President Joe Biden met with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in Washington.

According to the press service of the White House, Biden and Stoltenberg discussed the consequences of Russia's war against Ukraine for transatlantic security and the importance of further strengthening NATO's deterrence and defence forces.

"They welcomed the support that Allies and partners are providing bilaterally to help Ukraine defend itself from Russian aggression," the report reads.

The meeting also raised the issue of the need for NATO members to fulfil their defence investment obligations taken on at the Wales summit in 2014.

In addition, they discussed Sweden's early accession to NATO.
