The political agreement of 27 July 2025 is not legally binding. Beyond taking the immediate actions committed, the EU and the US will further negotiate, in line with their relevant internal procedures, to fully implement the political agreement.

Let’s see what happens next. The member states need to agree, right?

Oh, that’s gonna be a shitshow. I blame the “EU Made Simple” channel for saying veto is not needed. But BBC also says the approval is needed, and it just makes more sense. My knowledge in law is insufficient to confirm.

I don’t think they can veto a trade deal

How will selling to China work now? I think we had decreasing exports to China for a while now, how will that change?

So cool! I would also love to see a day train from Malmö/Stockholm to somewhere in Germany ^‿

Well, there is something to it, and I think we talk about different parties.

Moderaterna, who have the PM, are just classic libs (though there is the true neoliberal Liberalerna in the ruling coalition as well). They are in the EPP, for those who follow European politics. Their program is, tbh, like that of the Democrats under Biden and Kamala. This is where the minister comes from. I think you mean them.

Now, to get a majority in the government, Moderaterna (and two other parties) made a deal (Tidö avtalet) with Sverigedemokraterna. They are not in the government, but the government made an agreement with Sverigedemokraterna, vowing to implement some of their program in exchange for their support in the parliament. I call them far-right. They are in the ECR (European Conservatives and Reformists) in the European Parliament. Their main thing is being against migration. Generally, you could compare them to Trump vol. 1.

I understand why others might think this is not far right. I come from Poland, the two largest parties come from EPP and ECR, and they are followed by even further right. Similarly, Sverigedemokraterna is not as far right as, for example, AfD in Germany. Or as Trump vol. 2. But others going even crazier does not exclude Sverigedemokraterna from the far-right.

Swedish government be like:

Officially endorse far-right party

Push xenophobic agenda

A mentally sick person organizes the largest school shooting in the country, targeting specifically migrants >

Youth joins far-right groups

That includes a son of a ministry working on how to deport as many migrants as possible, making visa process as painful as possible, even for high-skill workers

But WHY?!!?

Good to see some institutions reminding that the war did not start in 2022…

Surely not alone ;)
