The United States probably no longer has any substantial objection to Ukraine's invitation to join NATO.

This is what is said in an article of Le Monde, where it is emphasized that the presidents of the USA and France, Joe Biden and Emmanuel Macron, the German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz and the British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer did not agree on the idea of ​​inviting Ukraine to NATO.

"So far, the United States and Germany are blocking any prospect of NATO expansion at the expense of Ukraine, while France and the United Kingdom are more favorable to it," the publication writes.

At the same time, according to the journalist, the Americans no longer have any fundamental objection to inviting Ukraine to join the Alliance.

"If Kamala Harris is elected [US President], it's very possible that Biden could move in that direction during the transition period. If it is Trump, then the argument loses its validity and there is a risk that the smallest initiative of Biden could worsen the situation", the publication quoted an unidentified European diplomat.

Some Le Monde sources believe that a move by the United States could also lead to a change in Germany's position.

"In any case, the four leaders present [at the meeting] in Berlin on Friday cannot solve such an issue alone, given that NATO has thirty-two members. Turkey and Hungary are likely to oppose any rapid rapprochement between Kiev and the Alliance,” the publication notes.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said before his meeting with US President Joe Biden on October 18 that Germany and the US will support Ukraine, but will continue to ensure that NATO does not become a party to the war.
