Always hard K. A queue is simply called 'kø' - which is a direct attempt to pronounce the french word (meaning tail). 'The queue' is 'køen'.That's interesting, if you were to say køn in Danish among Swedish speakers, they'd think you were saying "the queue" as the distinction between that and "biological sex" (kön) is whether the k is soft or hard.

Houthi rebels, who control the area where the ship is moored, have denied U.N. inspectors access to the vessel so they could assess the damage and look for ways to secure the tanker by unloading the oil and pulling the ship to safety. But the rebels recently signaled they would approve a U.N. mission to the ship, according to the U.N.
The U.N. environment program chief, urged the international community to come up with a response plan should an oil spill occur. The tanker could release four times more oil than the notorious Exxon Valdez disaster did, off Alaska in 1989, she said.
