Trump is BRILLIANT!!!
It not help anything. See how useless weapons are in Ukraine. When will war happy MP Mette F invest in peace, I bet she have not used 1% on peace of what she have used on military and her Russia Phobia and love for Mr Greenshirt… There run a Non Democratic state.
Buy from China!
As a Canadian I stand with Denmark ๐ฉ๐ฐ and the European Union ๐ช๐บ and Ukraine ๐บ๐ฆ Mexico ๐ฒ๐ฝ and Panama ๐ต๐ฆ and Greenland ๐ฌ๐ฑ Trump will sit in the corner with his dunce hat on
Denmark is a parasite country in nato that needs to double its defence expenditure to catch up with the years of underspending.
It pays less than 2%.
Ireland is the worst at 0.2% on defence.
Make these parasite countires pay 3% as a minimum and to sop relying on countries like the UK or France to do all the spending.
the guy dong the audio barely talks comprehensible language, woke
As a Dane I completely back this initiative. A strong Europe equals safety…
As an American I'm happy to hear this the rest of Europe should do the same. This was trumps plan all along…
USA is isolating itself we're strong enough to take care of our continent, Canada is already on our side

and they dont have enough money to hire any new soldiers, not a single DKK is going to new salaries of new soldiers, nearly hafe of all who wants to continue as a professionel soldier after their draft time cant be hired, because they dont have money for it …its a joke for all us Danes
Europe must band together and stay strong. As a canadian, you have my support.
The minister of Crises. Mette Frederiksen is badest representative (pm) in danish history ever. She had been talking like this since she was elected for the first time. Crises , crises everything is a crises. She has so many illigal cases that she's hiding from, avoiding the critical press. She is going for the EU top, to rule EU like trump! Don't trust her.
Goodbye to Danish welfare state and hygge.
but buy european weapons please, not american
Denmark should build drone factories for defense and attack on a large scale.
Where is Europe going to get its money, we are kicking you out of Africa. For years you have funded you economies literally for free using African resources, Here you are pointing a figure at USA with 'righteous ' indignation
Thank you Denmark ๐ฉ๐ฐ

America here I want our European allies to know the time has come that the European NATO members can defend Europe Russia is no longer a threat the Ukraine war proves that America should exit NATO๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ
I hope they are buying European made weapons and not USA ones
That's too low. USA recommend you spend twice that or more!
That's cool, but many of these European countries are massively behind on their defense budgets. Bush, Obama and Trump told them for years they need to increase
Military training and equipment isn't something that can be done over night it takes years for it to come together.
Germany is 10 years behind where it should be.
stop PM/MF the smug Gucci-queen! She is nothing to Denmark but carries herself around the world like another walking trophy. Panicking, she sees that everything she has fought for, namely an international top job, is disappearing into the blue.
The country which didn't even last 6 hours have to chances to counter against usa. Denmark is a mouse compared to mighty usa.
as a Dane im gonna invest in SAAB and sell my american stocks
You may hate Trump all you like. But he's FINALLY made you do what you should have been doing for decades. Spend REAL money on your own defense instead of healthcare nonsense and other hand outs. It's about past damned time you people woke up and smelled the Russians at your door.
wow trumps plan is working
Great that's 1% of what the U.S spends a year
To my fellow Americans, Read these comments and understand these are not our allies , America First
Sweden is a racist country but I must admit guys there are hot, there something in there.
Defense against Russia? Defense against US?
But must buy not American made. A two fold message please
Then buy European please.
A Dane
Ok so Europe has been sitting on the fence while power nations going for it but i think Europe has good captial to invest and spend money if needed. And fast.
what U turn? USA has told them to do it the last 15 years. this was the only way to make them grow up
Let me guess all the weapons will be bought from the US right? LOL!!!
Kneel Dennark Queen in front of your God.
Outstanding guys, ๐, now hopefully others will follow your example.
Europe must stop buying weapons from America, the world needs america on its knees, especially in the next 4 years,,,๐ฉ๐ฐ
Der er masser af vรฅben producenter i Europa,
