From DC to West Virginia, FM @larsloekke visits the local @rockwoolna factory. This is what 🇩🇰 investment in 🇺🇸 looks like on the ground: around 150 local jobs & a $300M investment. @rockwoolna employs around 700 people across the U.S., w. total U.S. investments of approx. $800M since 2016!
🇩🇰 companies are not just doing business in 🇺🇸. They're investing in American production, local communities & creating jobs.

FM @larsloekke: Today, 🇩🇰 signs an agreement with 🇺🇸, which paves the way for Danish expertise and solutions in U.S. maritime efforts. The agreement opens significant opportunities for Danish companies and can create new jobs on both sides of the Atlantic.

On this day in 1801, a young 🇩🇰 diplomat presented his credentials to President Thomas Jefferson, marking the start of one of the longest unbroken diplomatic relationships in US history.
From that first meeting to today’s transatlantic collaboration in business, science, culture, technology & beyond, this relationship has always run on people.
225 years in, we’re just getting started!

An important moment today.
Greenland, Denmark and the United States have signed an agreement strengthening security in the Arctic and North Atlantic.
It’s been a bumpy ride. But here we are – with a deal in hand that we can all be very satisfied with.
We share a long history. And we share a responsibility for the security of our region. Today, we take another important step together – with full respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark and the Greenlandic people’s right to self-determination.
History binds us together. Our future demands that we stand together. 🇬🇱🇩🇰🇺🇸

UM @larsloekke: Positivt USA og Iran er enige om en aftale. Vigtigt den bliver implementeret, så vi kan sikre regional stabilitet og genåbne Hormuz-strædet. Afgørende for verdensøkonomien. Vil drøfte med mine kollegaer, hvordan vi kan støtte videre proces til EU UM-møde i dag.

UM @larsloekke: "Følger situationen i Mellemøsten tæt. Det iranske regimes hidtidige ageren er helt uacceptabel. Og grunden til vi med EU har vedtaget hårde sanktioner. Vigtigt at undgå yderligere eskalering. Opfordrer alle parter til tilbageholdenhed… (1/2)

UM @larsloekke: ”Vi har besluttet at udbetale alle planlagte midler til UNRWA tidligt i år - 105 mio. kr. UNRWA er en uundværlig livline for palæstinensere i Gaza & regionen. Fortsat støtte er afgørende særligt nu, hvor UNRWA er under hårdt pres. Opfordrer andre til det samme.”

After 9/11, the U.S. called. Denmark answered. Thousands of Danish troops served in Helmand—on the front line. We lost more soldiers per capita than even the United States. That was solidarity. We stood with America then—and we still do.
I witnessed our brave men & women during my 1,5 years in Afghanistan.

The day is ending on a better note than it began. We welcome that POTUS has ruled out to take Greenland by force and paused the trade war. Now, let’s sit down and find out how we can address the American security concerns in the Arctic while respecting the red lines of the KoD.

Lars Løkke Rasmussen fortæller om ugen, hvor han var til møde med JD Vance og Marco Rubio om Grønland, om at diskutere smagen af isbjørn og få Trumps toldtrussel serveret midt i hvidkålen

Joint statement by Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom 👇

1/2 The President’s statement comes as a surprise. Earlier this week, we had a constructive meeting with Vice President Vance and Secretary Rubio. The purpose of the increased military presence in Greenland, to which the President refers, is to enhance security in the Arctic.

His Royal Highness Brigadier General Prince Joachim & @GreenlandRepDC welcomes 🇬🇱 Minister for Foreign Affairs & Research Vivian Motzfeldt to Washington DC. 🇬🇱 & 🇩🇰 cooperate w. mutual respect, respect for democracy & international law – together we stand strong.
“Greenland does not want to be owned by, governed by or part of the United States. We choose the Greenland we know today – as part of the Kingdom of Denmark,” said FM Motzfeldt.

Yes, history does matter:
The Kingdom of Denmark has always stood shoulder-to-shoulder w. 🇺🇸. After 9/11, 🇩🇰 answered the US' call. We lost more soldiers in Afghanistan per capita than any other @NATO ally.
Facts matter too:
➡️🇬🇱 has been a part of the Kingdom of Denmark for centuries. That has repeatedly been recognized by 🇺🇸administrations, in the @UN, and internationally.
➡️Only the people of 🇬🇱 should decide their future. A vast majority of Greenlanders voted yes to its self-governing status inside the Kingdom. This week, all five parties in the Parliament of 🇬🇱 repeated they don't want to become 🇺🇸
➡️For 80 years, 🇩🇰🇬🇱 & 🇺🇸 have had a successful security partnership in the Arctic. Let’s continue to address security challenges in the Arctic as partners & allies.
History matters. The U.S. defended Greenland’s sovereignty during WWII when Denmark couldn’t. After the war, Denmark re-occupied it—side stepping and ignoring UN protocol.
This should be about hospitality, not hostility.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The 1941 agreement between the U.S. and Denmark explicitly preserved Danish sovereignty while allowing U.S. defense of Greenland. Denmark did not re-occupy the territory; the UN recognized Greenland's status as a Danish county in 1954. nordics.info/show/artikel/t…

UM @larsloekke: “Det Palæstinensiske Selvstyre har gjort vigtige fremskridt på reformer, men der er mere at gøre. Afgørende også for at kunne lede i Gaza i fremtiden. Konstruktivt møde med palæstinensisk premierminister Mohammad Mustafa i Ramallah.”

UM @larsloekke: “Våbenhvilen i Gaza har gjort en forskel. Vigtigt den overholdes. Godt at mere nødhjælp kommer ind i Gaza, men brug for at skalere yderligere op. Alle parter må fastholde momentum. Mit budskab til israelsk kollega @gidonsaar i dag.”
