Leader: "Trump 2.0" puts the world order at risk
The topics on today's front pages range from Donald Trump to the Baltic Sea health crisis.
Both Dagens Industri and Sydsvenskan/HD look ahead to the coming year and highlight the importance of Trump. DI's lead writer Ellen Gustafsson writes that every single boardroom, parliament and government office needs to be prepared for "Trump 2.0". A second turn with Trump would be worse than the first, she notes.
"This time, it is not just the Paris Agreement that hangs loose, but ultimately the world order. Since Trump was last in power, the world has become a more dangerous place."
Sydsvenskan/HD writes in a leading position that even more moderate political analysts are beginning to worry about America's democratic future.
On Expressen's editorial page, the future of the Baltic Sea is instead in focus.
"Sweden has the single longest coast towards the Baltic Sea. We should put on the leader's shirt. Don't cheer for the transformation of the Baltic Sea into a half-dead mass of plankton and plastic."
