Mr. Vice President, let's set the record straight: Denmark has been a steadfast ally to the United States for decades. Our soldiers have stood shoulder to shoulder with yours in conflicts around the globe, demonstrating our unwavering commitment to our partnership.
Your recent comments overlook a critical distinction. Whereas the Danish people remain loyal allies, it's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen's government that has faltered. Promises made at the 2019 NATO summit to bolster military presence in Greenland have not been fulfilled. Moreover, the government's encouragement of Greenlandic independence is reckless and jeopardizes regional stability.
Criticize the Danish government's shortcomings if you must, but do not conflate them with the enduring friendship and alliance between our nations. Denmark stands with America; it's our current leadership that needs a course correction.
