On June 18, 2024, the Swedish Parliament overwhelmingly passed a defense cooperation agreement with the US, allowing US military access to 17 military bases and training areas in Sweden. Critics express concerns that the agreement may lead to nuclear weapon deployment and continuous US military presence in Sweden. Despite objections from some parties, the Swedish government asserts that the agreement fully respects Swedish sovereignty and aims to enhance security by receiving early and effective military assistance from the US in times of deteriorating security situations.
