00:00Maya Stoll is a reservist in the Danish army.
00:05Placing dozens of Danish flags that were taken down by the U.S. Embassy in Copenhagen.
00:10Flags meant to draw attention to the 44 Danish soldiers killed.
00:15To begin with, they can start by offering a proper apology and then...
00:20...and you could say they might as well apologise to the British...
00:22...because they didn't deserve this either.
00:25Stoll is upset that embassy officials removed 44 flags, each bearing the name of a...
00:30...Danish soldier killed in battle.
00:32Starting in 2001, the Danes were part of a...
00:35...NATO force that struck Afghanistan following the September 11th attacks.
00:40Over 1,000 NATO troops from countries outside the U.S. paid the ultimate...
00:45...sacrifice.
00:46Despite that, in Davos last week, Donald Trump said this about...
00:50...the U.S.'s NATO allies.
00:51We have never needed them.
00:53We have never really...
00:55...asked anything of them.
00:56You know, they'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan or this or that.
01:00And they did.
01:01They stayed a little back, a little off the front lines.
01:03It was a false claim that...
01:05...stung for Danish veterans of the war, like Niels Jespersen, who fought on the front line.
01:10...and received medals for his service.
01:12We fought and pledged...
01:15...alongside our American brothers in arms.
01:18So, it's sad to hear.
01:20...these words.
01:21Trump's words also stung in the U.K., where many...
01:25...sacrifice of the more than 450 British troops who died in Afghanistan.
01:30British Prime Minister Keir Starmer described Trump's comments as...
01:33...insulting and frankly...
01:35...appalling.
01:36As for the U.S. Embassy in Copenhagen, embassy officials said...
01:40...that there was no ill intent in taking down the first set of flags...
01:43...and that they would have kept them in place.
01:45...had they been aware of the initiative.
