Unnamed sources within the outgoing Swedish government claim that the White House expresses concern about the influence of the Sweden Democrats in the next government. The information comes a week after Ann Linde (S) painted SD as friendly to Russia during her last trip to the UN General Assembly as foreign minister.

During the election campaign, the Social Democrats put a lot of effort into portraying the Sweden Democrats as "security and foreign policy threats", without highlighting any evidence and, by all accounts, without either Säpo or Must taking any action. Earlier, Samnytt reported how Foreign Minister Ann Linde (S) also spread the rumor at the UN General Assembly and thereby undermined the incoming government also on the international level.

Among other things, the foreign minister claimed connections between Russia and the Sweden Democrats, something she believes is "well known in many quarters". Now "central employees" of the American foreign minister Antony Blinken are said to have expressed concern about the influence of the Sweden Democrats in Swedish politics, above all concerning aspects of security policy, writes Expressen .

"Not a decent party"
- It is not a decent party, as they see it, and I would say that it can be deeply problematic for the incoming government. The Americans will not share things with us if there is a concern that Russia gets the information through the SD, says an anonymous government source.

SD has been described in international left-wing media as a far-right nationalist party, which, according to Expressen's sources, now puts Sweden in the mix for future collaborations with the USA.

- The normalization that the Moderates have done of SD in Sweden has not been understood by the outside world. Le Pen's tribute further strengthens the image that is now being established in the outside world. We are placed in the same compartment as Italy, Hungary and Poland, the source states.
