Hundreds of Danish protesters, many of whom are military veterans who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, staged a demonstration in Copenhagen on Saturday outside the U.S. Embassy.<\/p>\n

The group was protesting President Donald Trump<\/a>\u2019s push that the U.S. acquire Greenland from Denmark and his remarks at Davos that NATO forces “stayed a little back” when they fought alongside the U.S. in Iraq and Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

“They have a feeling that they\u2019ve been betrayed,” Carsten Rasmussen, president of the Danish Veterans Association, told The Associated Press. “And of course, they are angered by this. They deployed. They fought with the Americans. They fought with the Brits. They fought together. They bled together. And as you have heard here in front of the American embassy today, 52 of them never returned.”<\/p>\n

Forty-four Danish soldiers died in Afghanistan, the highest per capita death toll for a NATO country in the war, and eight more died in Iraq. The population of Denmark as of 2025 was just over 6 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During the protest, demonstrators laid 52 flags with the names of the fallen outside the embassy.<\/p>\n

“Behind all these flags, there’s a guy, there’s a soldier, there’s a young man,” Lt. Col. Niels Christian Koefoed, a Dane who served in Afghanistan, told Reuters.<\/p>\n

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called Trump\u2019s remarks about staying a “little back” “”insulting and frankly appalling,” to which Trump wrote on Truth Social: “The GREAT and very BRAVE soldiers<\/a> of the United Kingdom will always be with the United States of America!”<\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t, however, acknowledge the sacrifices of other NATO troops<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Denmark has always stood side by side with the USA \u2014 and we have showed up in the world\u2019s crisis zones when the USA has asked us to,” Danish Veterans & Veteran Support, the group that organized the protest, said in a statement. “We feel let down and ridiculed by the Trump Administration, which is deliberately disregarding Denmark\u2019s combat side by side with the USA.”<\/p>\n

The group added that “Words cannot describe how much it hurts us that Denmark\u2019s contributions and sacrifices in the fight for democracy, peace and freedom are being forgotten in the White House<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House for comment.<\/p>\n

On Greenland<\/a> earlier this month, U.S. ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker told Fox News Digital that NATO has a “tendency to overreact.”<\/p>\n

Whitaker said Greenland\u2019s importance has been clear for years as the ice melts, it reshapes the Arctic and opens new routes. “The security of the high north, which I\u2019ve talked about a lot before this ever happened, is the most important issue,” he said. “As the ice thaws and as routes open up in the Arctic, Arctic security, and therefore the\u00a0security of Greenland<\/a>, which is the northern flank of the continental United States, is crucial.”<\/p>\n

He stressed that Greenland\u2019s location makes it central to U.S. defense planning. “If you think about Greenland as part of the access to the naval assets, that monitoring and awareness and fortification of that part of the Western Hemisphere is crucial for the long-term security of the United States,” Whitaker said.<\/p>\n

He said recent diplomacy shows the issue can be addressed without escalation. “I know that a very\u00a0successful meeting happened between<\/a>\u00a0the Danes and Greenland and Vice President Vance and Secretary of State Rubio, so I think it\u2019s going to be constructive.”\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
