🇸🇪 Sweden has issued a pointed public remark suggesting that 🇺🇸 United States should “instead thank Denmark,” calling 🇩🇰 Denmark a “very loyal ally over the years.”

The comment is being widely interpreted as a diplomatic signal of solidarity with Denmark amid renewed transatlantic tensions and debate over alliance commitments. While phrased in measured language, the message carries clear symbolic weight—underscoring Nordic unity and reminding Washington of Copenhagen’s long-standing role in NATO cooperation, Arctic security, and U.S.-led missions abroad.
Observers note that such statements, though brief, often reflect deeper unease within Europe about tone and expectations inside the alliance, especially when loyalty and burden-sharing are publicly questioned.
