Andersson got to know Harris during the work on Sweden's NATO application. She describes her as "no-nonsense", straightforward and clear.

What lessons do you bring back to Sweden from here?

Suddenly, there is a bit more joy. There is a contrast, between progressive parties that want to develop society forward and right-wing extremist parties that build on division and threats and paint in dark colors.

Harris' speech marks the start of the actual election campaign. If she wins the presidential election, what significance will that have?

It is incredibly important that the US President is someone who stands up for a rule-based world order rather than the law of the strong. She is a warm supporter of a strong NATO and continued support to Ukraine, but it is not clear how Donald Trump would act on those issues.
