On behalf of the United States of America, I congratulate the people of Denmark as you celebrate the anniversary of your Constitution.
Our partnership with Denmark was established over two centuries ago, rooted in shared democratic values and further strengthened by the founding of NATO, and reaffirmed today when your Prime Minister visits President Biden in Washington, D.C. I thank you for your commitment to standing up to authoritarian regimes and other efforts to promote global peace and stability. The United States and Denmark continue to work closely together to support Ukraine against Russia’s unprovoked war and hold Russia to account. We look forward to growing our Alliance and partnership as we defend against threats to democracy, develop and implement solutions to tackle the climate crisis, support strong trade between our nations, protect and develop the Arctic region, and deepen our cultural bonds.
I join you in celebrating this anniversary of the signing of the Danish Constitution and send best wishes for health and prosperity to all people in Denmark, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands.
