The Danish political party Venstre advocates for the reduction of development aid to nations that do not accept their rejected asylum seekers, as stated by party leader Troels Lund Poulsen. This proposal comes as a part of a broader discussion on cutting Denmark's overall aid spending from 0.7% to 0.5% of gross national income, which is below the United Nations' recommended minimum threshold. Poulsen emphasizes the need for stricter measures against countries receiving aid that fail to repatriate their own citizens.

During a session at Christiansborg, Poulsen was questioned on where the cuts to aid would occur, given the party's promise to provide a solid funding proposal for future welfare and security expenditures. While other parties have put forth budget plans without specifying funding sources, Poulsen reassured that Venstre's initiatives would include clear financial backing, although he has yet to detail the specific cuts to aid.

The suggestions by Venstre reflect a growing sentiment in Denmark regarding immigration and asylum policies, pushing for accountability among nations receiving aid. The stance may influence Denmark's international relations and foreign aid commitments, particularly affecting the countries targeted for potential aid reductions, as they may see this as a punitive measure for their immigration policies.
