Denmark's Security Concerns

Denmark's military intelligence service expresses concern about the United States in its latest threat assessment.
The assessment cites shifts in U.S. policy under U.S. President Donald Trump, with an 'America First' posture.
It notes these changes create security uncertainties for Denmark and reference tariffs against allies.
The report also suggests a potential willingness to use military force and aligns with the Trump administration's call for Europe to bolster defense.

History

Historical Context

In December 2017, President Donald Trump unveiled a National Security Strategy that marked a departure from previous U.S. foreign policy by prioritizing an "America First" approach. This strategy identified China and Russia as "revisionist powers" and diminished the focus on climate change as a threat. Denmark's military intelligence now warns that these shifts could destabilize transatlantic relations and prompt NATO allies to increase defense spending.
