That could be something.) I'm curious to see in which hall it will take place!
It reads to me that they are serious about Lulea and will not outsource.

Great security effort when the US Secretary of State visits Luleå
PUBLISHED APRIL 15, 2023
On 30–31 May, the EU and the US will meet to discuss, among other things, trade and technology issues. And the meeting - it will be held in Luleå.
- Above all, it is fun for the whole of Norrbotten that we are trusted to hold such important meetings, says Håkan Wiklund at the County Board of Norrbotten.
US Foreign Minister Antony Blinken and Trade Minister Gina Raimondo are two of the top politicians coming to Luleå in May. In addition to them, a number of Swedish ministers also join, including Ebba Busch (KD), and the majority of EU commissioners.
- It's great fun to be part of organizing a meeting that means so much to the relationship between the EU and the US - but also to the whole world, says Håkan Wiklund.
Meetings in capital cities
The fact that the meeting ends up in Luleå has partly to do with Sweden's presidency of the EU.
- The Swedish government has chosen to hold its meetings outside the country, and that is great. It is not obvious. Many choose to put them in the capitals, says Håkan Wiklund.
He adds that Norrbotten is an attractive region:
- We had a good summit in Kiruna in January and we also have the green transition where our industry is at the forefront of the world.
In the clip, Håkan Wiklund talks about what the visit means for Norrbotten and the residents."
