Kristersson: US Leak Underscores Current Uncertainty

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) does not want to comment on details or content regarding the leak of the US war plans in Yemen to an American journalist in a chat. But it "highlights a degree of uncertainty".

I'm not going to comment on a single such leak, it will certainly be dug into a lot in that question, but I'm not going to have a Swedish opinion on that matter, says Kristersson.

I see it more as it highlights a degree of uncertainty right now, he says.

It was when the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, was added to a chat group that he could take part in how, among others, the US Defense Minister Pete Hegseth presented plans for a Yemen attack: targets, weapons, and deployment.

On the question of whether Sweden is affected by the leak and can continue to share intelligence information with the USA in the same way as before, Kristersson responds:

Right now, we have a stronger cooperation with the entire NATO than just the USA. It's clear that it's better for Sweden in this situation to cooperate with 31 other NATO countries than to have a unilateral intelligence cooperation with the USA, without in any way disavowing the cooperation that has been good for Sweden for a long time.

I feel very comfortable that the Swedish intelligence chiefs know very well what kind of information they are comfortable sharing with other countries, says the Prime Minister.
