"If war breaks out, we will, of course, be prepared for anything that can ensure Sweden's survival and the security of Swedes," Johnson told Sveriges Radio, commenting on the possibility of nuclear weapons in the country.
In 2023, before Sweden joined NATO, Sweden's parliamentary parties agreed not to deploy nuclear weapons on Swedish territory during peacetime, Sveriges Radio reported. However, Sweden does not have a similar provision regarding wartime.
