(30 Mar 2017) President Donald Trump held bilateral meetings with Denmark's Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen at the White House Thursday.
In quick remarks to the press before their Oval Office discussion, Trump called Rasmussen "a wonderful man doing a wonderful job," adding that Denmark is a "very good ally."
Lokke Rasmussen is the latest wary European ally to visit the White House since Trump took office, looking to ease concerns that the new administration will honor multilateral agreements with Europe and take a firmer stance against Russian aggression.
Since taking office, Trump has vowed to uphold the longstanding NATO military alliance.
But he recently declared that Germany owes "vast sums of money" to NATO and the U.S. "must be paid more" for providing defense.
As Britain triggers its exit from the European Union - something Trump supported - Denmark is also looking for economic assurances from EU trade partners.
