BRUSSELS (Reuters) -The prospect of Finland and Sweden joining NATO was part of the discussion between foreign ministers from the military alliance in Brussels this week, a senior U.S. State Department official said on Thursday.

"Obviously this is going to be those countries' choices to make," said the official, briefing reporters on the condition of anonymity.

"The alliance's open door remains open and there was discussion about that potential candidacy," the official said.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which it says aims among other things to degrade Ukraine's military potential and prevent it becoming a bridgehead for a NATO attack, has prompted the two Nordic countries to consider joining the U.S.-led alliance.
