Nordic economic policymakers urged the European Union to adopt a resolute and swift stance in its ongoing tariff negotiations with the United States. Sweden’s Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson said the bloc “needs to work quickly and stand firm,” emphasizing that unity and speed are critical as talks progress. Echoing that view, Danish Economy Minister Lose stated that the EU is prepared to defend its own interests in the discussions. The coordinated calls underscore growing concern among member states that prolonged talks could weaken the bloc’s bargaining power as it responds to Washington’s trade measures.
