Beden said America was the 23rd country to officially approve the membership bids of the two Nordic countries, writes Aljazeera.
The US Senate had overwhelmingly supported NATO enlargement to include Finland and Sweden in a 95-1 vote last week.
All 30 NATO allies are expected to accept their applications.
The two countries began seeking NATO membership after the Russian invasion of Ukraine earlier this year.
“Poutin thought it could divide us... weaken our resolve. Instead, he's getting exactly what he didn't want. He wanted NATO Finnishisation, but he is taking Finland's Naziisation along with Sweden”, Biden said.
