Denmark introduces controls at German border, says PM

Copenhagen, Denmark — Denmark announced the immediate introduction of controls at the German border, Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said Monday, on the same day Sweden introduced controls on its frontier with Denmark to stem a migrant influx.

“When other Nordic countries seal their borders it can have major consequences for Denmark,” Rasmussen said, referring to the Swedish measure. 

“It can lead to more asylum seekers,” he told reporters in Copenhagen.
