Sweden Aids Germany in War Material Trade
An American report accuses Sweden of shipping iron ore, pulp, and other materials to Germany, aiding munitions production. It cites 2,900,9890 tons of Swedish iron ore to Germany in two years, 16,009 tons iron imports from the U.S. in Q1, and substantial exports of ferroalloys, copper, zinc, and ball bearings. Sweden is said to discriminate against Allies via rail routes, prompting U.S. export-control considerations.
