The preparation of the canceled visit by US President Donald Trump in Copenhagen has cost the Danish police about DKK 4 million (€ 536,000).
This was reported today by the Danish Radio (DR). „The expenses include, inter alia, compensation due to holiday cancellations, cancellations of booked accommodation, operating costs for equipment and materials, and planning times,“ it said, according to DR in the files of the Reich police.
Not counting the expenses of the security service, the military, the Copenhagen airport and the royal house, which had also prepared for the high visit from the United States. Trump had canceled his trip twelve days before the planned arrival in early September, because the Danish government did not want to negotiate with him for a sale of Greenland.
In Denmark, the cancellation caused great outrage. Only Queen Margrethe was not snuffed. „It can happen that you have to cancel a visit,“ she said. Your invitation continues.
The bottom line, however, was more favorable for Denmark: According to estimates by the police, the execution of the state visit would have cost 33 million crowns (4.4 million euros).
