Iceland votes no to EU negotiations. Icelandic voters have voted no to resuming the suspended negotiations for membership in the EU. The result means that the government will not receive a mandate to resume negotiations with the EU Commission.
The vote has taken place, among other things, against the backdrop of a changed security policy situation in Europe. US President Donald Trump's threat to take control of Greenland has given the EU issue a new security policy dimension. See the feature on SVT Nyheter.
