Denmark, home to shipping company Maersk fully supports the U.S. and British strikes against Yemen’s Houthis, Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said in a statement on Friday. Denmark last week joined a U.S. statement warning the Houthis to halt their attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea. “It will come with a huge bill if the Houthis succeed in forcing international shipping traffic away from the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. 12% of all civilian ships sail through exactly that strait,” Lokke Rasmussen said.
