proper noun

A country in Northern Europe. Capital and largest city: Copenhagen. As Denmark takes over the presidency of the European Union, Danes are more strongly pro-European than at any time in the past two decades – a shift in sentiment that can at least partly be attributed to US President Donald Trump.
