NATO formally invites Finland and Sweden

Following yesterday's announcement that Turkey has agreed to support Finland and Sweden's bids to join NATO, the alliance today formally invited the two countries to become members. In his opening remarks at the 2022 NATO summit,  leader Jens Stoltenberg discussed the alliance's new "Strategic Concept," which he said reflects the "new security reality, with Russia's brutal war shattering peace in Europe, along with a more dangerous and more complex set of threats, from terrorism to disruptive technologies and climate change." Today's show begins right after the conclusion of Stoltenberg's press conference as Julia welcomes CNN Chief International Correspondent Clarissa Ward.
