During a rally in Florida in February, Trump said that terrorism was growing in Europe, and "look what's happening last night in Sweden." But the comment baffled many Swedes because there had been no extraordinary trouble that night in Sweden, a country welcoming to immigrants. Trump later tweeted more comments attacking Sweden's immigration protocols.
Publisher Max Strom commissioned "Last night in Sweden" in an effort to present a more diverse and multi-faceted portrait of the country.
"We felt we had to react because we didn't recognize Sweden at all in his words," photographer and publisher Jeppe Wikstrom told The Associated Press before the opening of the exhibition.
The photos, all taken after 6 p.m. in the spring, present a diverse portrait of Sweden, from an elderly couple in their sauna to a group of scouts from Syria practicing music.
The crowdfunded book hits the shelves on Tuesday, with the first copy sent to the White House and the next ones to all members of U.S. Congress.
