Since September 11, 2001, Denmark has been highly proactive in endorsing and implementing United States, UN, and EU-initiated counter-terrorism measures, just as Denmark has contributed substantially to the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan and the neighboring countries. In 2003, Denmark was among the first countries to join the "Coalition of the Willing" and supplied a submarine, Corvette-class ship, and military personnel to the coalition's effort in Iraq to enforce UN Security Council Resolution 1441. Since that time it has provided 500 troops to assist with stabilization efforts in Iraq. Prime Minister Rasmussen announced in February 2007 that most Danish troops would be withdrawn from Iraq by August 2007, as Iraqi forces had become capable of taking over security responsibilities in the Basra area, where the Danish troops had been concentrated.

====Relations with the United States====
Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warned that any [[US]] [[military]] action against [[Greenland]] would spell "the end of NATO" and the [[transatlantic]] partnership. Denmark bolstered its military presence in Greenland and coordinated with other [[European]] [[NATO]] allies for joint exercises, framing these as defensive measures to enhance [[Arctic]] security without escalating threats. Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen met with [[Vice President JD Vance]] and [[Secretary of State Marco Rubio]] on January 14, 2026 but described a "fundamental disagreement," emphasizing dialogue while rejecting annexation. [[Public opinion]] in Denmark strongly opposes any sale or takeover of Greenland, with polls showing nearly half viewing the [[United States]] as a threat.
