Denmark cooperated extensively with the NSA in signal intelligence operations due to its dependence on the US for security guarantees and access to advanced technology. Denmark hosts undersea cables that are valuable for intelligence gathering and the FE gained access to NSA tools like XKeyscore. Denmark prioritizes its relationship with the US through NATO and sees the US as its most important security partner due to its military strength. This strategic alignment led Danish intelligence to work more closely with the US than with European partners.
