The ties between Canada and Sweden are founded on shared values and decades of cooperation in defence, trade, and investment.
To expand that further, we just launched a new strategic partnership to connect our industries and workers in key sectors like critical minerals, clean energy, and defence.

President Stubb:
Some of the international media might wonder, "Why is the President of Finland here?" I think the reason is probably that we might come from a small country, but we have a long border with Russia, over 800 miles⤵️

What happened to the US? How did you get here? All of Europe has to be represented and stand up for Ukraine and Zelensky in the WH because the leader of the US is owned by, impressed by, scared of Russia? Never thought in a million years I would witness this shame and weakness. Please wake up!

I was asked why Swedes dislike Trump. He's loud, vulgar, boastful, self aggrandasing. He's blaming everyone but himself, he's unable to take responsibility, he lacks stoicism, he doesn't understand the meaning of cooperation and he's not trustworthy. All qualities Swedes intensely dislike.

Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.
