I spoke with President @vonderleyen again this morning.
Throughout our history, Canada and Europe have worked together to build up our economies and bolster our shared security.
In this time of global uncertainty, we’re focused on making our relationship even stronger.
In Brussels, I met with Danish Minister of Defense Troels @troelslundp — a true friend of Ukraine.
I thank Mr. Troels for the recently announced military aid package worth over USD 970 million. This is already the 25th package from Denmark since the start of russia’s full-scale aggression.
I am particularly grateful for the “Danish model” of financing Ukrainian industry. This is an effective format of cooperation, with more and more countries joining in.
Together with my colleague, we discussed further steps to support Ukraine and the coordination of security assistance.
The key topic of our conversation was the allocation of additional funds for the procurement of Ukrainian weapons and new investments in the capabilities of the Ukrainian defense industry.
We especially aim to strengthen cooperation in the field of UAVs. We agreed to continue contacts on implementing joint projects both in Ukraine and Denmark. We are ready to provide maximum support to leading Danish companies seeking to start operations in our country.
Denmark is our reliable and committed ally. Together, we continue to work on advancing our cooperation and increasing the effectiveness of assistance. 🇺🇦🇩🇰
AAF Founder VP @Mike_Pence: “There’s no doubt in my mind that broad-based tariffs, including the 10% tariffs the administration is leaving in place, will raise costs for hardworking Americans.”
@AmericanFreedom, we’ll continue making the case for free trade with free nations. ⬇️

I dag har vi debatten om de amerikanske baser i Danmark. Det er en sag med mange spørgsmål, udbredt bekymring og store følelser. Vi har indtil videre været i gang i omkring fem timer og har stadig lidt tid foran os. I næste post deler jeg min ordførertale.
Forsvarsminister @troelslundp er taget til NATO’s hovedkvarter i Bruxelles for at deltage i møde med forsvarsministrene fra Coalition of the willing. Her skal de diskutere krigen i Ukraine og mulighederne for militær og økonomisk støtte. 🪖

Europe is ready to negotiate with the US.
We have offered zero-for-zero tariffs for industrial goods.
Because we're always ready for a good deal.
But we’re also prepared to respond with countermeasures.
And protect ourselves against indirect effects through trade diversion.
The country is 100% behind the president on fixing a global system of tariffs that has disadvantaged the country. But, business is a confidence game and confidence depends on trust.
President @realDonaldTrump has elevated the tariff issue to the most important geopolitical issue in the world, and he has gotten everyone’s attention. So far, so good.
And yes, other nations have taken advantage of the U.S. by protecting their home industries at the expense of millions of our jobs and economic growth in our country.
But, by placing massive and disproportionate tariffs on our friends and our enemies alike and thereby launching a global economic war against the whole world at once, we are in the process of destroying confidence in our country as a trading partner, as a place to do business, and as a market to invest capital.
The president has an opportunity to call a 90-day time out, negotiate and resolve unfair asymmetric tariff deals, and induce trillions of dollars of new investment in our country.
If, on the other hand, on April 9th we launch economic nuclear war on every country in the world, business investment will grind to a halt, consumers will close their wallets and pocket books, and we will severely damage our reputation with the rest of the world that will take years and potentially decades to rehabilitate.
What CEO and what board of directors will be comfortable making large,
long-term, economic commitments in our country in the middle of an economic nuclear war?
I don’t know of one who will do so.
When markets crash, new investment stops, consumers stop spending money, and businesses have no choice but to curtail investment and fire workers.
And it is not just the big companies that will suffer. Small and medium size businesses and entrepreneurs will experience much greater pain. Almost no business can pass through an overnight massive increase in costs to their customers. And that’s true even if they have no debt, and, unfortunately, there is a massive amount of leverage in the system.
Business is a confidence game. The president is losing the confidence of business leaders around the globe. The consequences for our country and the millions of our citizens who have supported the president — in particular low-income consumers who are already under a huge amount of economic stress — are going to be severely negative. This is not what we voted for.
The President has an opportunity on Monday to call a time out and have the time to execute on fixing an unfair tariff system.
Alternatively, we are heading for a self-induced, economic nuclear winter, and we should start hunkering down.
May cooler heads prevail.
@RapidResponse47@VP US once’s had min 17 military installations & 15.000 soldiers in Greenland. You decided yourself to reduced the presence to 1 surveillance base with only 150 soldiers. So stop the nonsense about Denmark & take responsibility for your own safety. Call Nuuk & CPH you got the number

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen meets with incoming Greenlandic leader Jens-Frederik Nielsen. He is the 8th Prime Minister of Greenland.
Here in Washington, my cooperation with @GreenlandRepDC Kenneth Hoegh is as strong as ever.
Together, we work with a common goal to strenghten ties between our ally 🇺🇸 and the Kingdom of Denmark.
🇺🇸🇩🇰🇬🇱
Holy Cow!
Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen just sent a very stern, serious and condemning message to Donald Trump about his attempts to annex Greenland!
“When you ask our businesses to invest into the US. They do. When you ask us to spend more on defense. We do. And when you ask us to strengthen security in the Arctic, we are on the same page. But when you demand to take over a part of the Kingdom of Denmark’s territory — when we are met by pressure and by threats from our closest ally, what are we to believe in about the country we have admired for so many years… This is not only about Greenland or Denmark. It’s about the world we built together. You can not annex another country!”

“The US is a big country, and Denmark is a small one. We have looked up to you, and you have inspired us”
“…But when you demand to take over a part of the Kingdom of Denmark’s territory — when we are met by pressure and by threats from our closest ally, what are we to believe in about the country we have admired for so many years? A country that has stood up for the freedom of others. You know us, you know what we stand for, and you know that we don’t give in.”
