Donald Trump just got a dire warning from his own top generals. The Supreme Allied Commander Europe, United States Air Force General Alexis Gregory Grinkovich, who goes by the call sign Grinch, was in Sweden where he issued a stern and very strong warning to Donald Trump. saying that you are strengthening Russia, Iran, China, and North Korea, and you are weakening the NATO alliance. Grinkovich was in Sweden, where he praised Sweden and other European allies who Donald Trump is attacking. He said, for example, what he likes about Sweden as an ideal ally of the United States, is how he refers to Sweden, is that you say things are made with Sweden, not made in Sweden. And that's how partners should be treating each other.
Now, of course, with Donald Trump always being me, me, me, America this, America that, and not talking about the NATO alliance and attacking the NATO alliance, this top general would was clearly referring here to Donald Trump, but he didn't want to mention Donald Trump by name. So I want you to watch what takes place here in Sweden as Grankovic, as one of the top commanders in NATO, discusses the importance of this relationship with Sweden and NATO in general. Here, play this clip.
As governments remove barriers to work with defense firms, you're doing that here in Sweden, and we can learn from you. As you build transatlantic partnerships or pan-European partnerships or global partnerships with other like-minded nations, we can learn from you. And as you create opportunities for co-production and co-development, we can learn from Sweden.
What warning did Trump's top generals give him?
Sweden's industrial base is already doing these things and demonstrating that it can deliver. Yesterday, I heard the phrase made with Sweden. In stark contrast to the other phrase that you might have chosen, a more protectionist phrase of made in Sweden. This is fantastic. All allies would benefit from adopting this mentality as a rising tide lifts all boats. In conclusion, everything I'm seeing from Sweden, the collaboration, the modernization efforts, the defense investments, the health of your defense industry, Frankly, I think someone gave you all a checklist for being a model ally and you just went down and started checking it off. So it's a real privilege to be here today with you today with a model ally who's doing so much for the alliance.
And I truly look forward to your questions.
And next, Gronkowicz, this top NATO general, this top Air Force general, call sign Grinch. Here's what he says about Greenland. Play this clip.
The U.S. national strategy, along with the recent statements from President Trump, has changed anything when it comes to NATO priorities.
Well, I won't comment on the political dimensions of recent rhetoric. It's not my place to do that as a military officer. But I will just observe the readout from the North Atlantic Council, where all of our permanent representatives from the 32 nations get together to discuss thorny issues. Those dialogues continue in Brussels. They've been healthy dialogues from what I've heard. And I think that's the most important thing.
How is Donald Trump perceived to be strengthening adversaries?
Members of the Alliance who've worked together for so many years are talking together and working through these learning issues.
You have this role for about six months now. Has your priorities in any way changed?
Is it only six months?
Oh, I'm sorry you feel that way.
No, no. It's actually been truly a fantastic six months. One of the best jobs that exists on the planet, in my view, and I've truly enjoyed it. My priorities have been pretty consistent. I've got several of them.
What did General Grinkovich praise about Sweden?
One of us, of course, I'm focused on taking care of our people, your people, that you contribute to the Alliance and to our missions. They are the bread and butter of what we do every single day. And Michael Klassen and I actually got an opportunity to go see some of the Swedish troops yesterday.
