Denmark’s biggest cities say goodbye to Microsoft, citing concerns over Donald Trump's policies

Danish cities drop Microsoft due to high costs and political concerns under Donald Trump's policies, marking a big step toward digital independence. Both Copenhagen and Aarhus municipalities are switching to European alternatives after years of relying on Microsoft’s systems and cloud services. Officials cited growing expenses and fears of U.S. political pressure disrupting critical IT infrastructure. Aarhus has already cut its IT spending significantly by moving to a German provider.
