"This hostile attitude towards Denmark from the Trump administration is shocking," he told the BBC. "As a pro-American country we're asking why are you doing this."

One of Denmark's biggest companies has already been caught in the crosshairs of the US government in recent days, following an order to stop the construction of a big wind farm off the coast of Rhode Island.

The Revolution Wind project, already 80% complete, is being run by Danish multinational wind farm developer Orsted, which is 50.1% owned by the Danish state.

It is the latest wind power initiative to be targeted by President Donald Trump, who said last week "we're not doing the wind".

Shares in Orsted plummeted 16% on Monday in response to the so-called stop-work order, although they have since clawed back some of the losses.

The company says it has already installed 45 out of 65 turbines in the project aimed at providing power for 350,000 homes.

A modern, large-scale wind turbine can power anywhere from a few hundred to over 900 U.S. homes on average annually, with the exact number varying significantly based on the turbine's size, location, wind conditions, and its energy production capacity. For instance, an average U.S. turbine installed in 2020 generated enough electricity in less than an hour to power an average home for a month, and a 2.75 MW turbine could power over 940 homes annually.
