Stockholm: The record label for iconic Swedish pop group ABBA said Thursday it has demanded that US presidential hopeful Donald Trump stop playing its music at his campaign rallies.
Universal Music in Sweden said videos had surfaced of ABBA's music being played at at least one Trump event.
"We have demanded that (the material) be taken down and removed," Universal Music AB told AFP in an email.
"Universal Music Publishing AB and (record company) Polar Music International AB have not received any request (to use the music), so no permission or licence has been given to Trump," it said.
Swedish daily Svenska Dagbladet said its reporter had in July attended a Trump rally in Minnesota -- known for its strong Swedish community -- where "The Winner Takes it All" was played.
