Over 10,000 people participated in a march in Copenhagen to protest against Donald Trump's statements about Danish troops in Afghanistan.

Over 10,000 people participated on Saturday in Copenhagen in a march of silence, organized by the Danish Association of Former Combatants, in protest against Donald Trump's statements about the commitment of allies in the war in Afghanistan. Trump stated that Danish troops were "far from the front line," provoking outrage in Denmark and other allied countries. In tribute, 44 Danish flags, each bearing the name of a fallen soldier, were placed in front of the US Embassy, but were later removed by the diplomatic representative, who apologized. The protesters gathered at Kastellet, where they attended a ceremony and marched silently towards the embassy, carrying national flags and a banner with the message "No Words." The vice president of the veterans' association, Soren Knudsen, emphasized that the demonstration reflects the outrage over Trump's comments, seen as an insult to shared values. Participants, including veterans, expressed their pain and indignation over the American president's statements, reaffirming the close bond between Denmark and the USA, despite recent tensions.
