Trump & Xi Just Changed the World Order: AI, Iran, & the Next Cold War | Tom Bilyeu Show Live

What was said

"The Prime Minister of Denmark was in the U.S. and said I would like to address American legislators. You guys keep saying that we're socialist countries. We're not fucking socialist. We are a free market economy."

Bilyeu reveals that Nordic leaders have explicitly told American politicians to stop using their countries as examples of successful socialism. The Prime Minister of Denmark, former Prime Minister of Sweden, and Sweden's finance minister have all stated publicly that they run free market economies with safety nets, not socialist systems. Sweden collapsed economically in the 1990s and had to pivot away from socialist policies to survive.
