Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said on ⁠Wednesday the United States and Europe ​must stick together ‍as they share concerns over Arctic security.

"The world ‌order as ‍we know it that we have been fighting for 80 years is over and I don't think it will return," Frederiksen told a conference in Paris.

"The best way forward for the U.S, Europe ⁠is to stick together... We will try to find a way forward with U.S. We share concerns on Arctic security. Russia does not want peace with Europe," ‌she added.
