The U.S. should thank Denmark, which over the years has been a very loyal ally.
In Afghanistan and Iraq, more than 50 Danish soldiers have paid the ultimate price for that loyalty.

The proposed "Arctic Sentry" mission could be based on NATO's "Baltic Sentry" mission, which shields critical infrastructure in the Baltic Sea.

En ontwikkelingshulp en diplomatie véél meer Europees coördineren. Zelfs als wij heel veel geld gaan investeren in ontwikkelingshulp en diplomatie, dan heeft het niet zoveel zin als wij de enige lidstaat zijn en/of als wij tegenstrijdig diplomatiek beleid gaan voeren.
Het kabinet-Schoof bezuinigde miljoenen op het Nederlandse ambassadenetwerk, wat leidde tot de sluiting van meerdere ambassades en consulaten.
