Mette Frederiksen visits Joe Biden: Warm welcome, high praise for Denmark, and significant media attention

As planned, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen arrived in Washington, D.C., two days ago for an official visit to the White House. The visit coincided with a national holiday in Denmark, Constitution Day, on Monday, June 5. The visit received significant media attention from local, American, and international media outlets, with journalists gathering at the White House to cover the meeting and attend the press conference between Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and U.S. President Joe Biden.

Frederickson's funeral was warmly and enthusiastically welcomed in the US Congress.

Following a meeting between Frederiksen and Biden that lasted an hour and a half, held behind closed doors and attended only by close associates of the Prime Minister, including her chief of staff, Barbara Bertelsen, and the Danish ambassador to Washington, Mette Frederiksen visited the US Congress. According to local and international media, she received a warm welcome from members of Congress from both the Republican and Democratic parties.

Absolute support for the idea of nominating Mette Frederiksen for a high-ranking international position

According to TV2, prominent figures from both the Democratic and Republican parties have offered their full support to the Danish Prime Minister should she be nominated for the position of Secretary General of NATO, as has been widely rumored. Denmark's role in the war in Ukraine, in particular, has significantly contributed to a very positive impression among members of Congress and the US administration. They praise Denmark for its leadership regarding the F-16 fighter jets and for taking the lead in communicating the war to Europeans and the American public, the source added.

The 31 NATO member states will have to decide unanimously who will be the NATO Secretary General when the term of Norwegian Jens Stoltenberg ends. This could happen during the summit scheduled for next month or later in the near future. In fact, members of Congress have no influence on the decision, but when it comes to the largest military power in the alliance, the United States, this decision rests with Biden, who in turn has the strongest voice in the alliance, according to TV2.

According to reports, a meeting of more than an hour at the White House is considered relatively long and is a good sign.

Nancy Pelosi would like to see a woman in office, and Mette Frederiksen

When Mette Frederiksen met with the press after her visit to President Joe Biden, she was asked if she was a candidate for the top job, and she answered with the same words she had given to the local press and others many times, saying: “I am not in the United States to look for another job. On the contrary, I am here to take care of my work.”.

But former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi believes Frederiksen would be a good choice and would be particularly pleased if a woman were to lead NATO for the first time. Pelosi affirms that the Danish Prime Minister possesses qualities that qualify her for this high-level international position. Pelosi expressed this to the Danish Prime Minister, wishing her success, during Mette Frederiksen's thanks to the US House of Representatives before heading to the Danish Embassy to deliver a constitutional speech.

Mette Frederiksen has traveled extensively in the past six months and held meetings with numerous heads of state and government, which observers have noted and then linked to NATO rumors. The prime minister also recently led a conversation about the casualty record in Ukraine at a Council of Europe summit where the United States was also present.

In the same vein, Catherine Clark, the Democratic leader in Congress, thanked Frederiksen during a short speech, saying: “We are truly delighted to have you here today. We would like to thank you for the inspiring role you play on the world stage, and for being a leader we look up to and admire.” Clark also emphasized in particular the role that Denmark and the Prime Minister play in NATO and Ukraine, according to Ritzau.
