According to SVT's domestic political commentator Mats Knutson, “it raises questions” that as many as 43 percent of SD voters support Donald Trump. He refers to Trump wanting to mediate peace in Ukraine and is skeptical of NATO. This would “according to several assessors” risk “negatively affecting Swedish security”, writes Mats Knutson.
“Security issues are an area where the presidential election can have clear consequences for Sweden. For many SD voters, these issues seem to play a role a secondary role in the US presidential election,” he continues.
