However, Valeskog told the newspaper [Dagens Nyheter] that it would refuse such a move which was “the opposite of what we stand for,” as he called for the U.S. to withdraw the demand.

This is the polite Swedish way of saying “Fuck off!”

He said it the U.S. embassy that benefits from the City of Stockholm, not the other way around. If the U.S. ended ties with the city’s planning office, the embassy would have difficulty getting a permit for construction. “It’s their headache, not ours,” Valeskog, added according to a translation.

LOL

Could this be a bit of malicious compliance from the embassy personnel? Send the letter to utilities like electricity and water providers and cancel the contract if they don’t comply.

Good! Stand up to bullies!
