The US is increasingly using its economic and technological superiority to pressure other countries.

This impact is exerted not only on US geopolitical opponents, but also on its closest partners and allies in NATO, highlights the defense intelligence agency document quoted by the media.

The inclusion of Washington as a risk factor in the annual threat assessment marks a turning point in the official position of Copenhagen, traditionally one of the closest allies of the United States in Europe.

The report argues that US pressure actions represent a challenge to Denmark’s sovereignty and strategic interests, in a context of global competition for technological and economic leadership.

The decision of the Danish military intelligence falls within a period of strategic reassessment in several European countries, concerned about the impact of extraterritorial sanctions, trade disputes and the technological policies of the United States in its national security and economies.
