STORYLINE:
U.S. President Donald Trump welcomed Denmark's Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen to the White House on Thursday.
Lokke Rasmussen is the latest wary European ally to visit the White House since Trump took office, looking to ease concerns that the new administration will honour multilateral agreements with Europe and take a firmer stance against Russian aggression.
The two leaders will hold bilateral talks at the White House Thursday afternoon.
Since taking office, Trump has vowed to uphold the long-standing NATO military alliance.
But he recently declared that Germany owes "vast sums of money" to NATO and the U.S. "must be paid more" for providing defence.
As Britain triggers its exit from the European Union - something Trump supported - Denmark is also looking for economic assurances from EU trade partners.
