"In 2009, Ericsson telecommunications came under US pressure for selling telecom equipment to several oppressive governments – including Sudan, Syria and Iran. During that time, Ericsson sponsored a speech by Bill Clinton, paying him $750,000 – his highest paying speech." His successor and current prime minister Stefan Löfven has also thrown his support behind the Democrats' Clinton. And Swedish Hollywood actor Joel Kinnaman has said that if Trump wins he will move back to Sweden.
