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.
The F-35s was bought many years ago and is already in use. Discarding such a massive investment (and capability) now, would not make sense. Denmarks Air Force is not large enough to support too many different types.
We have 100% been way way way to beholden of the US, no doubt about it - but people have woken up now w. Krasnov 2.0, and our government always goes where the votes are, so I actually believe things will change now.
