I feel their closures show waning public interest in Scandinavian culture, as well as economic challenges, such as… Continue reading Closed and operating Scandinavian businesses in the United States
I was featured on a national livestreamed news segment on Tv4, a Swedish TV channel, to discuss the impeachment trial of Trump, on January 21, 2020.
