COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - The Danish government's main supporting party has ruled out tax cuts promised by Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen during last summer's election campaign, putting pressure on the minority government.

The chairman of the allied party, the Danish People's Party (DF), said the cost of taking in migrants and refugees would make in impossible to lower taxes.
