The Swedish government has approved a military cooperation agreement (DCA) with the United States, marking a significant shift in Sweden's defense policy.
The agreement allows the US military access to Swedish military installations, and potentially, the placement of nuclear weapons on Swedish soil.
This decision has sparked discussions and some concerns about sovereignty and security, though officials like Ove Jansson, head of the Älvdalen training ground, believe the fears are unfounded.
Sweden stands firm on its right to defend itself in the changing global landscape.
The decision aligns with Sweden's broader goal of bolstering its defense capabilities in response to current geopolitical tensions.
