00:00Mr. Secretary, have you been...
00:01What's that? I'm sorry? Are you from Sweden?
00:03Okay, you have a great country. This is a great country. This is a beautiful place.
00:06Thank you for listening.
00:07Thank you. I wish you were here longer.
00:09And they keep apologizing to me for the weather. There's nothing wrong with this weather.
00:14Miami's 95 degrees with mosquitoes and humidity this time of year.
00:17That's... All right.
00:18We could swap.
00:19Yeah, but your sunrises are way too early. It's like 345 in the sun.
00:23What's wrong with these people? It's not your fault. Go ahead.
00:25Let's start with the weather. What are you going to report back to President Trump from your impressions of the
00:29Helsingborg meeting?
00:31And also, have you got anything reassuring to say about the support for Ukraine that Sweden fear might be fading?
00:38Well, I mean, Ukraine's getting more support than they ever have through the Pearl program that the United States continues
00:43to be involved in.
00:44There's been no changes made to that program.
00:47Look, my job here today was to come and set the stage for what will hopefully be a successful leaders
00:52meeting in Ankara in about six weeks.
00:56I think we all know what the situation here is. Number one is, like always, and this is not new.
01:01I mean, if you go back 30 years, there's never been a time in which there hasn't been a debate
01:05in American politics about what our presence and our contribution to NATO should be.
01:09And that is always driven by what is the value of NATO to the United States.
01:12I understand NATO is valuable to Europe, and it should be.
01:14It also has to be valuable to the United States.
01:16We are going to continue to Un invariant about building solutions.
