The United States will not extend exemptions that previously allowed limited trade in oil from Iran and Russia despite sanctions, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced in an interview with the Associated Press, SVT Nyheter reports.

A street food stall caught fire early Saturday on Smögen, a popular coastal tourist destination in western Sweden. Firefighters are battling the blaze from both land and sea, with assistance from the Swedish Sea Rescue Society’s boats.

Meanwhile, a female motorcyclist remains in serious condition after a collision with a tractor outside Frillesås in Kungsbacka municipality on Friday evening.
