Trump swears like never before – crude actions are becoming more frequent
Trump uses swear words and insults more often now than during his first term as president. This is shown by an analysis of Trump's speeches and social media posts, writes the Washington Post.
When Trump was new as president, about 40 percent of his speeches contained at least one vulgar word or expression. Today, that figure is 93 percent.
According to historian Julian Zelizer, there is no doubt that Trump stands out compared to previous presidents.
Olivia Wales, a spokesperson for the White House, says that Trump does not care about being politically correct and that voters love that he is "authentic and transparent".
US-China relations
Leader: That's why Trump is sliding into Xi's talk about Taiwan
Wednesday's editorial pages focus on Swedish and international security policy. As the first NATO summit on Swedish soil begins in Helsingborg, one of the main aims is to highlight the presence of the Russian threat to allies from southern Europe, writes SvD's Ann-Sofie Dahl. There, Russia can feel distant, both geographically and mentally, she points out.
DI's Henrik Westman writes that Sweden's soldiers were recently "run over" when they recently practiced against Ukrainian drone operators.
"Ukraine has shown with its drone warfare what successes can be achieved by those who think in new ways and accept civilian innovations. Sweden must do the same," he writes.
DN notes that Donald Trump listened with interest when Xi Jinping posted the text about Taiwan as a country of "troublemakers", because they want to be independent. Astonishingly, but not surprisingly, he completely falls in line with Xi's way of reasoning, the newspaper writes:
"This is how Donald Trump looks at the world, at great powers like China and Russia - and at small states like Ukraine and Taiwan."
US-Cuba Relations
The US is said to be analyzing how Cuba would respond to an attack
American intelligence has been analyzing how Cuba would react to a military operation since early May, according to information provided to CBS News. The analysis work began in connection with the US following a Russian-flagged oil tanker heading towards Cuba.
Similar analyzes usually examine both the immediate consequences and longer-term chain reactions, and are used as a basis for the president's decision-making, the channel reports.
At the same time, the US president is downplaying the likelihood of a military escalation, after the US filed charges against former Cuban President Raúl Castro on Wednesday.
- No, there will be no escalation. I don't think it needs to be that way, Trump said.
