Denmark to Summon US Chargé d'Affaires

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, stated in the media that he will summon the US ambassador to Denmark for a conversation. This decision was made after information about the wiretapping of Danish officials by American intelligence agencies became public. Lars Løkke Rasmussen emphasized that Denmark has never forgotten the importance of trust in foreign relations and that such actions from an ally are unacceptable. 'We want a significant explanation in this matter. This is a serious issue that pertains to the basis of our cooperation,' he noted. It should be noted that Denmark is one of the strategic partners of the USA in Europe, and this incident may affect their diplomatic relations.
