Points of attention
- The statements made by Kristersson during the security conference underline the deep-rooted concerns about the erosion of established rules governing international relations and alliances.
- Rumors of a potential US military invasion of Greenland have further fueled the tensions, with Sweden showing support for Denmark as a loyal ally.
Kristersson was not afraid to criticize the US
The Prime Minister voiced his position on this issue during the annual security conference in northern Sweden.
Kristersson drew attention to the fact that the world order, which has been built on specific rules for a long time, is under greater threat than it has been for many decades.
We are very critical of what the United States is currently doing and has done in Venezuela, from the perspective of international law, and probably even more critical of the rhetoric being expressed against Greenland and Denmark.

According to the politician, the States should express gratitude to Denmark, which has been a very loyal ally for many years.
These statements came amid rumors that Donald Trump has already ordered the US military to develop plans for a potential invasion of Greenland.
It also became known that British leader Keir Starmer's team is negotiating with European allies about deploying military forces in Greenland to guard the Arctic for Trump.
