Prime Minister: The Americans are still our most important ally

Despite the current drama between the USA, Denmark and Greenland, the Americans are still the Danes’ most important ally.

This is what Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen (S) says.

  • Yes, I think so of course, all the while that it was the Americans who saved Europe in the 40s and ended World War II, and because the USA and Europe, together with Canada, have jointly built the strongest defense alliance the world has ever seen, says the Prime Minister.

  • It is still NATO, by the way, but there is a conflict over Greenland, unfortunately. It is not only Denmark and Greenland that believe that there is a conflict that is serious for Europe and the USA. We have received massive support from the major countries in NATO.

    I’m pretty positive they all believe that once Trump dies/goes away, everything will be back to normal, and that’s why they don’t want to burn bridges with the US.

    It’s an absolutely insane take that shows how much that shithole holds us all by the balls. We should be moving away from anything they provide, it’s an insanely dangerous situation

      I hope that this is not true. Trust in the USA won’t come back, without many decades of active work by the USA to regain it

        I’m in the US and a lot of people still rabidly support this child rapist. The last poll results showed that 42% of Americans still support trump. It’s pretty scary

          This is the point though and the greatest issue seen from the rest of the world. The problem is not Trump but the American people who support ideas like that
          Edit: directly support or are passive when it comes to choosing

      That’s exactly the case. Trump is just doing in the open what the U.S. has always been doing. “Returning to normal” ultimately doesn’t change anything.
