The secretive Bilderberg Meeting is set to commence in Sweden this Thursday, offering a discreet platform for discussions amidst transatlantic tensions stirred by President Donald Trump's policies. Established in 1954, this exclusive event aims to strengthen dialogue between the U.S. and Europe.

High-profile figures such as NATO General Secretary Mark Rutte and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella are attending, with a focus on enhancing transatlantic relations. Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson will address Sweden's role in supporting Ukraine and the EU's competitive edge.

While the organizers stress the need for confidentiality to facilitate open dialogue, the secrecy surrounding the event has led to unfounded conspiracy theories alleging hidden agendas. Despite these speculations, experts like Christina Garsten believe the perceived influence of the meeting is often exaggerated.
