Denmark is a small country, but an important player in the NATO Alliance and the resurgent Nordic defense group of Norway, Sweden and Finland to deal with the rumbling Russia. And it will grow more important as it implements an impressive 20 percent increase in defense spending over the next six years.
The increase was announced in mid-October 2017 when the Danish government released its proposed new six-year defense guidance and defense spending guidelines.
