Denmark does NOT have any nuclear weapons of its own, but such weapons have been kept at a US-base on Greenland, which is a part of the Kingdom of Denmark. The funny thing is that the Danish Prime minister in 1957 in secrecy was asked by the Ambassador whether the Danish government wanted to be informed in case USA would decide to place nuclear warheads on Greenland, to which the former declined - apparently only consulting a few close advisers. In this way the Danish government have been able to deny for decades that there were any nuclear weapons on Danish territory - even-though everybody suspected that it was not true. The purpose of this charade was not to provoke the Soviets by officially 'inviting' the weapons, but the problem was that the Danish parliament (and people) was also kept in the dark - which obviously is unconstitutional.

What is the difference between nuclear and thermonuclear weapons?

Nuclear weapons' yield is derived primarily from fission. Thermonuclear weapon's yield is derived mainly from fusion. Thermonuclear weapons are multistage weapons -- x-rays from a nuclear primary trigger are used to trigger ablation in the pusher of the secondary to compress it, which is responsible for the fusion reaction.
