Danish veterans protested outside the US Embassy in Copenhagen, angered by remarks from the Trump administration downplaying their combat contributions and threats regarding Greenland. The demonstration, organized by Danish Veterans & Veteran Support, involved planting flags honoring fallen soldiers. The veterans felt betrayed by the comments.

In Milan, Italy, hundreds protested the deployment of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents during the upcoming Winter Olympics. Demonstrators gathered in Piazza XXV Aprile, expressing opposition with banners. The protest was supported by the Democratic Party, the CGIL trade union, and ANPI. Mayor Giuseppe Sala stated ICE agents are unwelcome.

The protests follow controversial statements from the US administration. President Trump's comments in Davos, Switzerland, dismissing allied soldiers fueled outrage. This situation raises questions about international relations, particularly regarding the US's relationship with its allies in Europe and the handling of immigration issues.

The Winter Olympics, set to open on February 6th, offer a backdrop for these demonstrations. With US Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio expected to attend, the protests could gain further visibility. The reactions demonstrate rising discontent with the US policies.
