Denmark targets Trump as it launches EU presidency: ‘No longer be in the shadow’ of US

Denmark on Thursday took opening shots at the Trump White House as the Nordic nation takes the reins at the European Union.

“We have war on European soil. We face trade wars, and new tariffs, and we have our closest ally, in the United States, turning increasingly inward,” said Danish European Affairs Minister Marie Bjerre. “Europe can no longer be in the shadow of the United States. We need now to stand on our own two feet.”
