Sweden's deputy prime minister has seemingly mocked Donald Trump - by posting an image which appears to parody one of him.

Many in the Scandinavian country were quick to notice the similarity between the image posted by Isabella Lövin and one of President Trump signing an executive order.

But there is one key difference - while Trump's team are all men, and he is signing legislation relating to women's reproductive rights, Lövin is surrounded exclusively by females.

The picture posted by Swedish deputy prime minister Isabella Lövin shows her surrounded by women while she signs the legislation

It marks a strong contrast to images of Donald Trump signing an executive order in the Oval Office last Monday

The document she is pictured signing binds future governments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

After it was posted on Lövin's Facebook page, many posted to congratulate her for the parody.

Lisa Ringström wrote: 'Wonderful combination of important decisions and sense of humor!'

But not everyone agreed, with Ronnie Johannesson branding it 'immature'.

When quizzed about the resemblance between the images, she told The Local: 'We are a feminist government, which shows in this photo. Ultimately it is up to the observer to interpret the photo.'

She said the legislation marks a 'new era' in climate politics.
