The article discusses the mysterious and little-known secret cable collaboration between Denmark and the USA that was established during the Nyrup government in the 1990s. This partnership was considered crucial, often referred to as a 'golden egg', and only a select group of ministers, officials, and intelligence personnel were aware of its existence. Over the decades, significant efforts were made to protect this collaboration from public scrutiny and disclosure.

However, a significant shift occurred under the leadership of Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, who in August 2020 ordered the management of the Danish Defense Intelligence Service (FE) to be sent home. This decision triggered a wave of media revelations about the cable cooperation, raising questions about transparency, accountability, and the possible ramifications of distancing from such an important alliance. The handling of this sensitive issue has sparked widespread debate regarding national security and the future of Denmark's intelligence-sharing practices with the United States.

The article concludes by emphasizing the difficulty of obtaining answers about the current status of the cable cooperation and the perceived risks associated with the diminishing secrecy surrounding it. As public interest grows, the article highlights the broader implications for Danish authority and autonomy regarding international intelligence operations against the backdrop of trust and collaboration with the USA.
