> Sweden is not cooperating with the U.S. because it has to.

Oh yes it does. The US wants to use Sweden to supply the EU, after they push for banning of all chinese equipment, and Sweden needs american military assurances.

US is creating all kinds of 'corridors' for american exports, including LNG corridor in south europe, despite all the anti-EU rhetoric.

Keep in mind this is written by a pro-Swedish business lobbyist in Texas, not by an international relations analyst.

I also don't think the US leadership has any plans for Sweden in particular, this is more likely the result of a top down directive to the US MFA to sign tech deals "in Europe" and signing something with Sweden just happened to line up nicely with the calendar for other reasons.

Frankly, the current administration doesn't have the tactical wit nor attention span to pull something like this off.
