Denmark has agreed to a new defense bill to give the U.S. open access to the Nordic country’s airbases. The bill gives U.S. soldiers access to airbases in Karup, Skrydstrup, and Aalborg, and laws will remain under U.S. jurisdiction, granting soldiers power over Danish residents at these positions. The bill was agreed upon by a vast majority of Denmark’s parliament, with 94 MPs voting for the bill and 11 against. “It is an agreement that means that we will have areas in Denmark that are under American jurisdiction, where Danish authorities cannot exercise control. And where mistreatment of prisoners can occur…It is a gigantic failure towards the Danish population,” explained Dragsted.
