Total Trump trade chaos is threatening again. Today it’s 🇪🇺 and 🇲🇽 that he threatens with 30% basic tariff if they don’t accept his demands. Yesterday it was 🇧🇷 with 50%. Tomorrow nobody knows. https://t.co/gc8PSbhijm
Good graph showing that after enormous casualties and tripling the size of its aggression force 🇷🇺 still holds a lesser share of 🇺🇦 territory than three years ago. It’s a miserable failure for Putin.
The EU and NATO are very natural partners.
Our White Paper on the future of defence is about unblocking funds, doing more for defence, capabilities and cooperation.
This, eventually will make NATO stronger.
My doorstep ahead of @NATO Foreign Affairs Ministers meeting ↓
President Trump's proposal will only mean "more conflict and more bloodshed," warns former Saudi intel chief Prince Turki al Faisal. "It is a fantasy to think that ethnic cleansing in the 21st century can be condoned... There's no way that I can explain it."
If President Trump 🇺🇸 wants to take over and ”own” Gaza, and move its population , the logical thing would of course be to move them to the 🇺🇸. It’s all bonkers, with the 🇮🇱 far right hysterically applauding.
A heartfelt appreciation to H.E. @KMedrek, Ambassador of Morocco, for hosting a wonderful dinner in honor of H.E. @JuhlinDag. Deep gratitude to His Excellency @DDannfelt for his remarkable efforts in strengthening Qatar-Sweden relations over the past year. Wishing him every success and fulfillment in his new mission.

It’s deeply worrying that global warming now seems to be happening at a faster pace than anticipated. Where 🇺🇸 is heading remains to be seen, but it’s imperative that all keep focus on the necessity of the green transition.
A historic concert by the forbidden voice of an Iranian woman took place inside Iran, a country where women are jailed simply for singing. Thousands of Iranians watched it live on YouTube, celebrating the bravery of this extraordinary woman.
Parastoo Ahmadi, who was once arrested during the “Woman, Life, Freedom” uprising and forced to erase the song “From the Blood of the Youth of the Homeland” from her page, defied the regime once again. This time, she stood without a hijab in a centuries-old caravanserai, singing her heart out and streaming the concert live on YouTube.
She wrote:
“I am Parastoo, a girl who cannot stay silent and refuses to stop singing for the people she loves. This is my right, one I will never surrender. I sing for this land I adore, for the soil of my homeland. Here, in this sacred corner of our beloved Iran, listen to my voice in this imagined concert, and dream of a free and beautiful nation.”
Her voice is a weapon against tyranny, her courage a song of defiance. Parastoo is everything the regime fears, a woman who cannot be silenced.
Zara Esmaeili, another brave young woman who dared to sing in public, is now behind bars. We hope for her freedom and for Iran to be liberated from the tyranny of the Islamic Republic, a regime that, for over 40 years, has banned women from singing and letting their hair flow freely.
I call on all international singers to stand in solidarity with Parastoo, Zara, and the courageous women of Iran who are defying oppressive, discriminatory laws. These brave female singers are risking their freedom and their lives to challenge a regime that has silenced women’s voices for over four decades. Let their courage inspire action, your support can amplify their fight for justice and freedom.
Iranian women are wounded but unbowed to their oppressors.

My mother’s neighbor and close friend Rina Freed passed away yesterday at the age of 95.
Rina was a Holocaust survivor who spent 2 years in Sweden after the war.
Listen to what she had to say about 🇸🇪 when we first met.
May Rina’s memory be blessed.
In an act of extraordinary courage, Iranian female singer Parastoo Ahmadi live-streamed herself singing without the mandatory hejab in a Tehran caravanserai, risking years of imprisonment. Another crack in the foundations of Iran’s rotting theocracy.
Such a delight to meet the legedary former Honorary Consul of Sweden mr Syed Babar Ali and our current Consul mr Syed Hyder Ali in Lahore. This family’s ties with Sweden goes back 70 years!

Humanitarian crisis and food insecurity in Gaza are growing by the day to an inhuman level: according to @FAO, it is the worst since WWII.
