Hundreds protest Trump's NATO comments and Greenland demands at US embassy in Copenhagen
AI Summary
Hundreds of protesters, including Danish military veterans, demonstrated outside the U.S. Embassy in Copenhagen on Saturday, protesting comments made by Donald Trump. The demonstration was triggered by Trump's suggestion that the U.S. acquire Greenland from Denmark and his remarks at Davos implying NATO forces did not fully support the U.S. in Iraq and Afghanistan. Danish veterans, who fought alongside American troops in those conflicts, expressed feeling betrayed by Trump's statements, particularly as 44 Danish soldiers died in Afghanistan and eight in Iraq. Protesters laid 52 flags, each representing a fallen soldier, outside the embassy. The Danish Veterans Association and other leaders criticized Trump's remarks, emphasizing Denmark's consistent support of the U.S. in global crises.
