Danish MP Rasmus Jarlov:
As a decision-maker in Denmark’s F-35 purchase, I regret it.
The U.S. can disable them simply by cutting off spare parts. They are willing to harm allies like Canada and could one day threaten Denmark—demanding Greenland and risking our security.
Buying American weapons is a risk we can’t afford. As we invest in defense, we must avoid U.S. arms, and I urge our allies to do the same.

Beijing’s mineral supply chains are a critical point of geopolitical leverage in its trade and tech war with the US.
