Danish diplomat in Washington DC. Write about Denmark and the US, politics, poetry - and whatever strikes me.

[Jesper Møller Sørensen 🇩🇰 @DKambUSA]

With all due respect, my very good friend @LindseyGrahamSC - but for the record: we have always been with you when we have decided together to defend freedom. For instance, when the US was attacked 9/11, Denmark sent 1000 troops - for several years - to Helmand. Tragically, we lost more soldiers than any other country pr capita. We obviously can’t let Putin succeed with his brutal invasion of Ukraine.

[Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick 🇺🇸 @RepBrianFitz]

Denmark and the United States are bound by an unwavering commitment to democratic values and shared principles. It was wonderful to meet with Denmark’s ambassador, @DKambUSA, to discuss our united dedication to NATO and the security of the transatlantic alliance.

In the face of Putin’s unlawful invasion of Ukraine, Denmark has demonstrated great leadership and solidarity, standing firmly in defense of democracy. Its recent commitment to donate 19 F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine exemplifies its resolve to bolster NATO and support allies during these critical times. The United States, alongside all freedom-loving nations, must continue to stand strong in protecting our shared ideals. I extend my gratitude to Ambassador Sørensen for his insights, and I look forward to continuing my work to strengthen the enduring bond between the United States and Denmark.
