Only two years ago this would have been an unthinkable remark from a member of the Danish administration.

But tonight Frederiksen said it and elaborated, The Nordics, Canada, Germany, France, and the UK were our closest allies.

Billionaires are certainly trying. And the FPTP system makes us quite vulnerable. On the other hand, unlike the US, we have real parties on the left. Our nominally left-wing party in government has been gradually moving to the right to the point that they look like late ‘80s Conservatives now. They thought that their biggest threat was losing votes on the right, but they just came third in a by-election with the newer left-wing party winning and the far-right party coming a fairly distant second. A poll over the weekend showed that, if only men under the age of 25 voted, we’d have a majority-Green (left wing) government in the next election, which contradicts the ‘young men are all right wing’ narrative that has been driving a lot of political strategy.

So, yes, we’re currently moving in the stupid direction, but there are signs that we may be able to course correct before it’s too late. Our far-right party (Reform Ltd) has been trying to portray itself as British MAGA, but now it’s increasingly obvious what a disaster MAGA has been in the USA, that’s far less compelling even to the racists.

We have local elections in May, which will give a strong signal of the direction of travel. And we still have several years until the next election, which is hopefully enough time for the disaster that is Trump to be inescapable and for Reform to be associated in everyone’s mind with the same kleptocracy that backed him.

The US is no longer our closest ally, said Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark

The usa is a liability not an ally would have been more fitting.

She realized?

At this point, that's like saying that Russia is no longer Ukraines closest ally a few years ago.

Also, the UK? Aren't they competing with the US in the speedrun to fascism?
