The Danish government concluded that the drones flown over its airports in recent days are the work of a \u201cprofessional actor\u201d, but said there was no evidence of Russian involvement, after such activity disrupted its airspace twice in the space of a week.<\/p>\n
Aalborg airport was forced to shut down for several hours last week after green lights were spotted overhead, and Billund airport was also briefly forced to closed. Three smaller Danish airports also reported drone activity.<\/p>\n
In his interview with POLITICO, Healey also attacked Labour\u2019s rivals on the right, saying: \u201cI don\u2019t think Nigel Farage or his party could be trusted with national security.\u201d<\/p>\n
Healey said that the government was \u201cstanding up to Putin. You\u2019ve got Farage and his party looking up to him,\u201d he added. \u201cThere\u2019s something deeply suspect about Nigel Farage, isn\u2019t there?\u201d<\/p>\n
The defense secretary, seen as a solid presence in Keir Starmer\u2019s turbulent government, insisted in the interview that the U.K. was confident in the U.S. as an ally.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Starmer trusts the commitment Donald Trump gave him when they met in the White House \u201cthat the U.S. remains totally committed to NATO,\u201d Healey said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Danish government concluded that the drones flown over its airports in recent days are the work of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":461207,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,4],"tags":[4328,18992,748,473,365,32,2595,393,4884,2819,807,384,1144,602,48,712,811,413,53,16,15,49,1764,771],"class_list":{"0":"post-461206","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-uk","8":"category-united-kingdom","9":"tag-airports","10":"tag-airspace","11":"tag-britain","12":"tag-defense","13":"tag-denmark","14":"tag-donald-trump","15":"tag-drones","16":"tag-england","17":"tag-great-britain","18":"tag-john-healey","19":"tag-keir-starmer","20":"tag-nigel-farage","21":"tag-northern-ireland","22":"tag-pete-hegseth","23":"tag-rights","24":"tag-scotland","25":"tag-security","26":"tag-space","27":"tag-technology","28":"tag-uk","29":"tag-united-kingdom","30":"tag-united-states","31":"tag-wales","32":"tag-war"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115289268199268528","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/461206","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=461206"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/461206\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/461207"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=461206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=461206"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=461206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
