Intern for a day on Capitol Hill — Building the next generation of transatlantic leadership.
Diplomacy isn’t just about high-level meetings, it’s about the next generation of leaders learning from one another.
Earlier this week, our intern Jacob Green-Pedersen traded the Embassy for Capitol Hill, spending a day with the office of Senator Jim Justice (R-WV).
From deep-dives into congressional policy to exchanging perspectives with Senator’s talented staff, Jacob gained valuable insights into the diplomatic work and the state of West Virginia.
The highlight? Proving that diplomacy can happen at every level – including a four-legged kind, Jacob joined the iconic for a local dog parade!
⚓️ “Denmark is a strong shipping nation - top ten in the world,” said Brian Wessel, Director General of the Danish Maritime Authority, during his visit to Washington, D.C. last week.
Over two focused days in the U.S. capital, Director General Wessel met with US authorities on key maritime issues and to:
👉 Share Danish expertise and best practices
👉 Align on common priorities
👉 Explore new opportunities for transatlantic collaboration
As a leading seafaring nation since the Viking Age, Denmark continues to shape the future of global shipping. From digitalization of the maritime industry to workforce training, and advancing energy-efficient vessels, Danish companies are well-equipped with both expertise and solutions to support U.S. ambitions in the maritime and shipping space.

24 February 2026, marks the fourth year of the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine - and every day since, Ukraine has been fighting a brave battle for their own and Europe’s security.
This winter, Russia has deliberately targeted Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, and with temperatures dropping as low as -20°C, it is critical when electricity and heating are cut off.
Denmark has provided a total of approximately EUR 10.8 billion in support to Ukraine. This includes approximately EUR 128 million in support to Ukraine’s energy sector since 2022.
