The United States and Sweden have started talks on a new security deal that will regulate future US troop deployments to the country, which applied to join NATO last year in response to Russia’s military action in Ukraine.
The Swedish Defense Ministry outlined the negotiations in a statement on Monday, saying officials are now working out the details of a Defense Cooperation Agreement (DCA), which the ministry called a “natural development of Sweden’s and the USA’s long-term cooperation in the area of security and defense.”
“The USA is Sweden’s most important security and defense policy partner, both bilaterally and within NATO,” it said. “By creating the conditions for an American presence in Sweden, including in the form of exercises, our security is strengthened.”
