“The Swedish government wants to strengthen ties with US tech giants, despite the Trump administration’s potential influence over these companies. This is according to Minister for Public Administration Erik Slottner (KD) in Ny Teknik. “What is happening in the US is rather proof that we need to have a strong relationship with these tech companies – perhaps even stronger than we have today. Europe is an important market for them, and they are very keen to have a good relationship with us.” He mentions Google, for example, as a partner he wants to continue to have on his digitalization council.”

    I got curious and got the original article at NyTeknik. It is mostly about investments into AI, but very little substantial in the article. The article is a result of an interview.

    The government wants to keep a closer dialog with the hyperscalers, but have escalated their stand on digital sovereignty a step up from ”Huh? That’s theoretical” on being hit by digital sanctions to ”taking a serious look” post Greenland.
