• U.S.- Denmark Relations: People, Partnerships, and the Future of the Transatlantic Alliance

    In-Person

  • Event Description

    The United States and Denmark share a longstanding partnership built on democratic values, strong economic ties, and a shared commitment to security and international cooperation. As the transatlantic landscape evolves, longstanding assumptions about trust, security, and alliance relationships are being tested. The growing strategic importance of the Arctic, and Greenland's increasingly prominent role in geopolitical discussions, has added a new dimension to the U.S.-Denmark relationship.


    Join the World Affairs Council for a conversation with Ambassador Rufus Gifford, former U.S. Ambassador to Denmark, for an insider's perspective on this important relationship and the role of diplomacy in a changing world. In conversation with World Affairs Council President and CEO Jacqueline Miller, Ambassador Gifford will explore the enduring ties between the two countries, Denmark's strategic importance to U.S. interests, and the opportunities and challenges shaping the future of the alliance.
