Danish Intelligence Labels U.S. Under President Trump as Security Risk, Citing Strategic Shifts
The Danish Defense Intelligence Service has classified the United States, under President Trump's administration, as a security risk. This marks a significant shift in the perception of one of Washington's closest European allies. The 2025 intelligence outlook report highlights concerns over the U.S.'s increasing prioritization of its own interests, using economic and technological power as leverage, even against allies. The report specifically mentions the U.S.'s attempts to exert control over Greenland, a Danish territory, as an example of this aggressive stance. Additionally, the report notes the growing uncertainty in U.S.-China relations, as the U.S. focuses on countering China's influence, particularly in the Pacific and Arctic regions. This strategic pivot has raised concerns about the U.S.'s commitment to European security, suggesting that European countries may need to bolster their own defenses against potential threats from Russia.
