Shortly after Donald Trump was declared the winner of the American presidential election by news bureau AP, the Danish government appeared at a press conference in Spejlsalen at Christiansborg.

Here, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen (S) began by congratulating the 47th president.

- Everything indicates a very large and convincing political victory. The American people have spoken, and a new president can begin his work soon, she said.

At the press conference, the prime minister emphasized the obvious – that the government considers the United States to be Denmark's closest ally. And that is still the case.

- We are looking forward – again – to working with President Trump and the administration that will soon be sitting in the White House.

During Trump's last presidential term, he criticized the NATO countries and accused them of not contributing enough to the defense alliance and allowing the United States to bear too great a responsibility for the security of other countries.

Since then, war has broken out in Europe, and it is the continued support for Ukraine's war against Russia that the government is still very concerned about.

Recently, the world has seen Russia strengthening ties with both Iran, North Korea, and China, said Frederiksen.

- It is absolutely necessary that the transatlantic bond not only continues but is strengthened. It is NATO-alliance that secures very large parts of the free world.

- Our freedom and our security, added the prime minister.
