Stockholm rejects ‘bizarre’ US letter urging city to scrap diversity initiatives

Stockholm’s official received an unusual letter from an American embassy demanding its compliance with Donald Trump’s controversial rollback of diversity measures, marking the first such missive aimed at a foreign government. The municipality has refused to comply and cited its commitment to diversity as central to its values. This development comes amid heightened tensions between Sweden and the US, already thrown into disarray by trade threats, security concerns, and leaked national security documents exposing the Trump administration’s anti-Europe stance.
