Swedish parliament votes on a defense cooperation agreement (DCA) with the US, sparking controversy over potential nuclear weapon deployment and permanent US bases.

Swedish parliament is voting on a defence cooperation agreement (DCA) with the US, causing controversy due to fears that it may lead to the deployment of nuclear weapons and establishment of permanent US bases in Sweden. The agreement, signed in December, allows the US to access 17 military bases and training areas across Sweden, as well as store weapons, military equipment, and ammunition within the country. Critics argue that the deal should explicitly prohibit nuclear weapons on Swedish soil.
