And beyond that, the US would risk its relationship with at least the Baltics and Nordics as well, and possibly EU at large. You don’t fire off political ultimatums for a minor trade dispute if you’re not already prepared to sever relationships. It’s not that Sweden is important in itself (though I’d like to think it is, as a swede), but this is a little bit like suggesting placing a Russian army base in South Dakota. South Dakotans being pissed would barely register compared to the reactions from the US beyond that.
