Frederiksen congratulates Trump on the election
Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen congratulates Donald Trump on being elected as the next President of the United States.
In a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office, she says
”Congratulations to Donald Trump on being elected the next President of the United States. The United States is our most important ally. We must maintain the close cooperation between the U.S. and Denmark and continue to strengthen the transatlantic bond that has endured through generations.
I look forward to strengthening the defense corporation between the United States and Denmark together with President-elect Trump. In a world in which Russia behaves more aggressively, increasingly supported by Iran and North Korea, there is a need for reinforcing global alliances. This is especially true in Ukraine where we need to continue our support for their fight for freedom. Furthermore, it would not be possible for Russia to continue the war in Ukraine without the help of China which is of grave concern. Our common security is at stake.
A strong partnership must be based on a Europe that must be able to do more on its own and take greater responsibility for our own security. We need to speed up and invest even more in our collective defense. It is necessary for ensuring peace and security in Europe, and for being a strong partner for the United States globally.”
