The Swedish Embassy in the U.S. tweeted earlier today that they have asked U.S. officials for a clarification of what exactly President Trump was talking about yesterday.
Yesterday Trump made reference to something that happened “last night in Sweden.” There was no attack last night in Sweden and the president was likely referring to a segment on Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Tonight the previous night.
Trump has gotten lots of online mockery for the claim, and the Swedish embassy tweeted earlier today they’ve asked for some clarification:

Former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt was, er, less diplomatic:
Sweden? Terror attack? What has he been smoking? Questions abound. https://t.co/XWgw8Fz7tj
