Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson says Stockholm was chosen to host trade talks between the US and China because the two countries ”like Sweden”, and its view on free trade and stable economies.
In between the talks between the two economic giants, the Swedish government has met with the delegations separately and tried to put across the Swedish view on economy and trade.
Meanwhile, analysts are trying to assess how the trade deal between the US and the EU will affect Swedish businesses.
