This article by Emanuel Sidea, published by Dagens industri, features our CEO, Karin Hammar, where she shares her perspective on the upcoming US Election in relation to the Swedish-American market! — The article is written in Swedish, but below are two main takeaways for our English-speaking audience. Candidate Preferences: Polls show a close race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump in the US presidential election, but only 29% of Swedish entrepreneurs in the U.S. think Trump can win, with many favoring Harris. Economic Views: Most Swedish entrepreneurs believe American voters see Trump as better for the economy and more business-friendly, even though his tariffs might raise prices for consumers. #USelection #dagensindustri https://lnkd.in/edwm9Th5
