Bilateral relations are excellent.
NATO, the keystone of the American national security relationship with Denmark, is popular in Denmark, perhaps more so than in any other country in Europe. An overwhelming number of Danes favor Danish membership of NATO, and the Danes are also adamant that progress toward European integration should not come at the expense of transatlantic ties. The business sector would also like to see a more flexible labor market and introduction of measures that increase the incentives of workers at minimum wage to work rather than seeking the relatively generous unemployment benefits. Denmark is a constitutional monarchy. The Parliament, known as the Folketing, is elected for a four-year term.
