Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt goes to Stockholm to meet President Obama today with Denmark as the only Nordic country to support US plans for a strike against Syria, without a United Nations mandate if necessary.
“When a leader uses chemical weapons against his own population, a line has been crossed and the international community must ask itself ‘Are we to react to it – yes or no?’ You could let it pass, but we do not believe you should. Clear support for our allies is not just a direct extension of Social Democratic policy, but has also been Danish foreign policy for many years. So it is quite natural,” Thorning-Schmidt says.
