    Yes it does.

    This NATO treaty already lays out the rights of troops and host countries:

    There are plenty of provisions in NATO for stationing troops on each others’ territory that don’t require massive, far-reaching agreements. This DCA treaty goes above and beyond NATO standards, to the detriment to Swedish security and rule of law.

      Ok let me clarify. It does not mean they can place soldiers however and wherever they want.

      This deal gives US access to specific bases and they can put soldiers there and work alongside Swedish military.

      If that was already included in NATO. They obviously wouldn’t have made a separate deal about it.

      Why you think it’s to Swedens detriment is something only known to you. I strongly disagree.
