Staff at the US embassy in Copenhagen have removed 44 flags decorated with the names of Danish soldiers that were killed in Afghanistan, put up after US President Donald Trump’s recent criticism of allied countries’ military contributions.
Copenhagen’s mayor for environmental affairs, Line Barfoed called the move “disrespectful”
I blame Denmark for this. The embassy claimed afterwards that they didn’t know what the flags were about - even though the meaning of the flags was explained to them that same day while they were being placed.
Lol Danes thinking that US officials have respect or engage synapses!
