Lars Løkke Rasmussen

And in your case, it sounds like there was no what's called consideration either, and which means you're not bound by it.

it.Um, actually our foreign minister who's, uh, to this day our foreign minister, still Lars Løkke Rasmussen, he signed the, uh, the agreement one day after actually t- telling the Danes that, uh, this is a new agreement.

We knew nothing.

Yeah.

The Social Democrats and their center-left and left-wing allies pushed for a government which would include the Moderates, but also the left-wing Red-Green Alliance.

However, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, who's the leader of the Moderates and former prime minister, he refused to govern with the Red-Green Alliance.

He instead wanted a grand coalition spanning the political spectrum, also including some center-right parties.

However, that idea also failed.

"The highest level, very high, is reserved for situations where authorities have information that attacks are being launched or malicious activities ongoing.

Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen described the update threat assessment as deeply worrying, saying Russia must not be allowed to sow divisions within NATO.

Danish Defense Intelligence warns that Russia is expected to significantly intensify its hybrid war against the West and NATO in the coming months.

The actual invasion of a NATO nation is considered unlikely, but it can no longer be ruled out.

This article on the Danish website Politiken talks about the final moments for the signing, pointing out how unusual it was that the Danish and Greenlandic leadership had made zero comment about the agreement before it was signed, that they didn't want to reveal the details of the agreement in advance.

The article said this, "The days leading to the signing of the agreement felt like one long diplomatically held breath." Even on Monday, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen said that the agreement first had to be signed before he could comment on its content.

As the journal noted, quote, "An unusual stance in a diplomatic setting." The obvious interpretation of all that is likely the correct one.

They desperately wanted Trump to sign this thing.

It was all part of his unorthodox bargaining strategy, and it ends with everyone involved happy with the deal and getting something.

Much to the haters' chagrin, within hours, the prime minister of Greenland, Jens Nielsen, was saying, quote, it's to the benefit of all, with Denmark's prime minister echoing that statement and saying that they'd all sign the agreement this week during the UN General Assembly meeting.

And President Trump was saying the US will, quote, immediately begin the process of developing a large military presence in the appropriate parts of Greenland, which is basically a desolate rock anyway.

And so there won't be a problem finding strategic locations.

I mean, the truth is everyone knows what a big deal this is.

NATO members and European nations whose leaders, even if they don't like Trump's style, were grateful for this agreement.

And when the leaders of Denmark and Greenland are praising it, who cares what the snarky haters say? The Prime Minister of Denmark, Lars Rasmussen, posted on Instagram, Greenland's leader said, I think you understand that those men started out hating Trump's bold claim that he was going to buy Greenland.

Oh, they were mad as hornets.

It is for the benefit of us all.

Danish Foreign Minister Lars Rasmussen with a similar statement, saying the agreement will help strengthen security in the Arctic and North Atlantic area.

And President Trump announcing today that he's forming an AI force modeled after the Space Force.

It will support and oversee the rapidly growing industry.

We are the United States of America".

Ese mismo año, el primer ministro danés Lars Løkke declaró lo siguiente.

"I would like to make one thing clear.

Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy.

The ship and helicopter were in international waters in the Baltic Sea close to Denmark.

Danish Foreign Minister Lars Rasmussen said that Russia was gradually shifting the boundary for what they consider acceptable behavior.

Russia said that it was investigating the incident, but also said that the helicopter was performing provocative actions.
