Bipartisan resolution recognizes decades of deep and enduring friendship between Denmark and the United States

WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Senators Peter Welch and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) today introduced a bipartisan resolution commemorating Danish Constitution Day and recognizing the importance of the U.S.-Demark partnership. The Senators’ resolution also recognizes the deep commitment of the Danish government and people to friendship and cooperation with the U.S. and expresses gratitude for the sacrifices of Danish heroes in securing the shared interests of both countries. 

Denmark and the United States have enjoyed peaceful, mutually beneficial relations since establishing diplomatic relations in 1801—characterized by robust trade relations and cooperation on military and intelligence matters. The United States is Denmark’s largest trading partner outside of the European Union, accounting for about 10% of Denmark’s total trade in goods.  

“This resolution shows the American people and the Danish people that we value our friendship. Denmark is one of our most reliable allies—we’re proud to congratulate our friends on Constitution Day and reaffirm our commitment to friendship and respect,” said Senators Welch and Murkowski. “We look forward to strengthening the prosperous relationship between our two countries and to many more decades of shared peace and cooperation.”
