“The Swedish government wants to strengthen ties with US tech giants, despite the Trump administration’s potential influence over these companies. This is according to Minister for Public Administration Erik Slottner (KD) in Ny Teknik. “What is happening in the US is rather proof that we need to have a strong relationship with these tech companies – perhaps even stronger than we have today. Europe is an important market for them, and they are very keen to have a good relationship with us.” He mentions Google, for example, as a partner he wants to continue to have on his digitalization council.”

get these idiots out of government in september, please.
also, in the full interview in ny teknik he mentions something interesting: he believes sweden should be less dependent on american cloud services. so increased trade, less… usage. i don’t understand how this man thinks. or if he does at all.
Lot of talk about data, deregulation, and ai. I think more trade involves selling welfare records of various kinds to tech companies.
