From industrial goods to service trade, the U.S. remains one of Sweden’s top export destinations, with American investments playing a critical role in Sweden’s economic growth. Donald Trump’s return to the political stage, coupled with his stated intentions to revive protectionist trade policies, could shift the dynamics. His previous administration was marked by higher tariffs, renegotiated trade agreements, and a strong focus on “America First” policies—developments that could also impact Swedish exports.
How might such changes affect Swedish businesses? What opportunities exist to navigate a world of increasing uncertainty but also emerging possibilities?
In this webinar, we will delve into these questions and provide an up-to-date overview of the trends shaping the future of trade relations. What would a potential shift in U.S. trade policy mean for Swedish companies? And how can Swedish businesses remain competitive in a global market being redefined in real time?
