"If there were to be war, we would have options for everything that can ensure Sweden's survival and Swedish security, of course," the minister told the radio.
Sweden has an agreement not to station nuclear weapons on Swedish soil in peacetime. However, there is no similar agreement regarding what applies in wartime.
Earlier in February, the Sweden Democrats said they would consider stationing nuclear weapons on Swedish soil in a gray zone situation between war and peace.
The Liberals also do not want to rule out stationing nuclear weapons on Swedish soil in wartime.
"Now that we are equipping and strengthening our own capabilities in Europe, we must also create independence. And in this situation, the Liberals and I believe that nothing should be ruled out," Gulan Avci, the Liberals' defense policy spokesperson, told the radio.
