The Left, internationally, is increasingly at war with the very concept of the independent nation, The attack, in our affairs, goes back over two generations:

Surrender By Subterfuge

[Cronos]

Don't compare the US to individual European nations -- the US is massive. It is a world on its own right and can stand in splendid isolation from the rest of the world and do very well

But Denmark or even the UK by itself cannot emulate the USA. Just as the leftist suggestion that the US should emulate Denmark is wrong, the suggestion that Denmark can play at the same level as the USA is wrong. The EU is a confederation. It's not going to be a country. It will be close but NOT be like the Holy Roman Empire in the 1500s - a conglomeration of independent states.
