How Denmark Wants to Make the EU Both Safer and Richer

  • On 1 July 2025, Denmark assumed the EU Council’s six-month rotating presidency, focusing on security and competitiveness amid early challenges like Slovakia's veto on Russia sanctions.
  • Amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and US threats to Greenland, Denmark shifts focus to European security and defence commitments, driven by geopolitical tensions and threats.
  • Denmark’s defence spending exceeds 3% of GDP, pledged €8.60 billion in weapons, and aims to meet NATO’s 3.5% target by 2035.
  • Despite Denmark’s focus on security, Slovakia’s veto on Russia sanctions and the presidency’s efforts to limit European Court of Human Rights rulings hinder early policy progress.
  • Starting July, Denmark's EU presidency aims to facilitate defence funding and address the US July 9 tariff deadline, amid plans to simplify procedures and offer loans for EU defence from March.
