Aspling has spoken against EU legislation and proposals by Swedish Prime MinisterStefan Löven to roll out a common European minimum wage, arguing that the EU's legal structures are different to that of Sweden's social policies and that such a measure would undermine Sweden's ability to set its own wages.[5] Along with Sweden Democrats MEPCharlie Weimers, Aspling has played a role in criticising the EU's common asylum and migration policies, claiming "there is no discussion of how to deal with the different fundamentally illiberal, dysfunctional and often anti-Western ideologies, beliefs and religions that accompanies many migrants to Europe." He also states that the EU needs to do more in addressing human trafficking across the Mediterranean.[6] Aspling has also called on the Swedish government not to invest money in the ChineseBelt and Road Initiative (BRI), claiming that the BRI is a front for the Chinese state and that Sweden should not deal with the BRI on grounds of human rights abuses in China and that economic partnership with BRI will lead to unfair competition with European workers.[7]
