Denmark and United States
Denmark scores 45/100 toward United States (unfriendliness, pressure), while United States scores 15/100 back.
Denmark toward United States
Denmark is responding to US aggressive rhetoric and territorial claims by deploying military conscripts to Greenland, indicating diplomatic pressure and defensive posturing rather than active hostility or open hostility. This action reflects unfriendliness and a firm rejection of US expansionism, fitting the lower end of the unfriendly/cooperative spectrum.
United States toward Denmark
The US administration, via President Trump, is employing aggressive rhetoric and symbolic acts (AI maps showing annexation) that imply a desire to seize Danish territory (Greenland), which constitutes armed hostility or severe diplomatic aggression. This aligns with the 0-20 range for aggressive rhetoric and de facto attempts at annexation.
