Danish military veterans marched in Copenhagen on Saturday, January 31, 2026, to protest comments made by U.S. President Trump criticizing NATO allies' support in past wars. The veterans, who fought alongside American troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, were angered by Trump's remarks that suggested allied troops "stayed a little back" during conflicts. The march, organized in response to Trump's recent statements, highlights the deteriorating relationship between the U.S. and Europe, particularly regarding Denmark, due to Trump's previous interest in taking over Greenland. Danish leaders and citizens have resisted the takeover bid, and the veterans' march is the latest demonstration of anti-American sentiment. The veterans laid a wreath outside the U.S. Embassy in Copenhagen.
