Denmark holds parliamentary election with Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen seeking third term after Greenland crisis with Trump
Danish voters went to the polls on Tuesday in a general election, with over 4.3 million eligible to vote for the 179-seat parliament. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called the snap election after her approval ratings rose following her defiant stance against President Trump's threats to take control of Greenland. The election campaign focused primarily on domestic issues including cost of living, immigration, and welfare, with Frederiksen facing challenges from center-right candidates including Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen.
