Their meeting focused on supporting Ukraine in the fight against Russia and “designed to help strengthen the deep and enduring ties between the United States and Denmark,” said Kirby.

Kirby added that the meeting focused on other global topics, including energy security and climate change.

Kirby also commented on the recent sanctions placed on a group of Russian-intelligence linked individuals for their role in allegedly helping the Kremlin destabilize Moldova’s democratically-elected government.

“The individuals that were designated today were part of a plot to capitalize on protests in Chisinau that were designed to seize the Moldovan Government House and conduct an opposition meeting,” he said. “The U.S. government is going to continue to support the Moldovan government and their people in their efforts to combat coercive activities that undermine democracy there.”

Later in the week, Biden will also host U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to discuss support for Ukraine among other topics.
