Trump: Scandinavian Country and Open-Door Policy

trump: It's true that Sweden, which prides itself on welcoming newcomers, is seeing a new kind of urban unrest, according to Metro News. The combination of the country's open-door policy and comparatively heterogeneous culture has led to frictions, especially in areas where many long-time immigrants feel disempowered. For U.S. President Donald Trump and his supporters, however, the episode appeared to confirm Trump's vague observation two days earlier that the Scandinavian country was at risk of becoming a breeding ground for extremist attacks. Yet its problems with crime, poverty and violence are no greater and potentially much less than in the United States and other countries with home-grown gangs as well as waves of new arrivals and Trump's focus on Swedish issues has left many people there puzzled. Rioters threw rocks at police, set cars on fire and looted shops, but no one was injured. This week's trouble started when police arrested a drug crime suspect in Rinkeby late Monday.
