France's president to talk European defense with Danes
None
French President Emmanuel Macron is coming to Denmark for a two-day visit, hoping to build the relationships he needs to push France's agenda of a more closely united European Union.
Macron wants Europe to take more responsibility for its own defense, saying the continent's security shouldn't rely so much on the United States.
Denmark has a defense opt-out in its EU ties, meaning it does not taking part in military matters. The Danish government and a majority of lawmakers want the defense waiver to be removed but are hesitant about calling a referendum on it.
