Isabella Lövin, the deputy prime minister of Sweden shared an image that many have interpreted as a sly dig at President Trump.
Lövin is also the minister for international development and the spokesperson for the Swedish Green Party in their coalition with the Social Democratic Party.
On Friday, she signed the "referral" on a climate change law that will bind future governments to net zero emissions by 2045.
The law was presented on Thursday, but Lövin tweeted this image on Friday morning.
She sits, the referral order on the desk in front of her, as (significantly) female colleagues look on.
It appears to be a pointed reference to this image:
President Trump signs executive orders January 23, 2017.
This one, taken on 23 January, shows President Trump revoking what has been called the "Mexico City" executive order.
The effect of President Trump's action was to ban US tax dollars from being spent on foreign NGOs which promote or perform abortions.
At the time it was heavily criticised for being signed solely in the presence of men, as the policy would overwhelmingly affect women’s access to safe abortions.
