C.

, this Wednesday, as announced by the Government Offices of Sweden.

The visit includes bilateral meetings with the U.

S. administration and discussions with members of Congress.

The trip is seen as a significant step towards Sweden's potential full membership in NATO, with expectations that Hungary will deposit its documents in Washington, facilitating Sweden's accession.
