 Reaffirming the strong partnership between the Kingdom of Denmark and 
                           the United States.

Whereas the Kingdom of Denmark and the United States have enjoyed more than two 
        centuries of close relations;
Whereas Denmark has long been a key partner in bilateral and multilateral 
        efforts to address global challenges and threats;
Whereas Denmark was a founding member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
        (NATO) in 1949 and has continued to support the trans-Atlantic security 
        alliance;
Whereas Danish forces have participated in United States-led military missions 
        in both Afghanistan and Iraq and the United States-led international 
        coalition against the Islamic State terrorist organization;
Whereas Denmark participates in a wide range of NATO missions, including 
        Operation Enhanced Forward Presence, and contributes to numerous 
        peacekeeping operations throughout the world;
Whereas Denmark has been an active and cooperative member in the Enhanced 
        Partnership in Northern Europe (e-PINE) to contribute to a free and 
        peaceful vision of Europe and has partnered with the United States and 
        other Baltic and Nordic countries on security, health, and economic 
        matters;
Whereas Denmark is a fellow member of the Arctic Council and has long supported 
        peaceful cooperation in the Arctic region;
Whereas the United States is one of Denmark's largest non-European trade 
        partners, and the United States exports $2,200,000,000 worth of goods 
        and $5,500,000,000 of services to Denmark; and
Whereas the Danish Government reports that Danish investments support over 
        75,000 United States jobs: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes the significance of our enduring political, 
        economic, and security partnership with the Kingdom of Denmark;
            (2) recognizes the important role Denmark plays in the 
        North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the Arctic Council, and 
        other intergovernmental organizations and missions to promote 
        global peace, security, and prosperity;
            (3) expresses gratitude and appreciation to the people of 
        Denmark and the members of the Danish military for their 
        efforts and sacrifices to make our world more secure; and
            (4) calls for continued cooperation and partnership to 
        further strengthen the longstanding alliance between Denmark 
        and the United States.
