The Danish prime minister’s request for increased defense spending comes amid warnings from European capitals about Russia’s rapid rearmament, which poses a potential threat to NATO countries.
Frederiksen’s comments are particularly noteworthy given his strong support for Ukraine and his possible candidacy for future leadership roles in NATO and the Council of Europe.
