Denmark is holding a general election on Tuesday, with Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen seeking a third term in office. Opinion polls indicate a narrow lead for her centre-left bloc.
Frederiksen’s campaign has been bolstered by her firm stance against U.S. President Donald Trump’s attempt to take control of Greenland. The election was called after she gained popularity from this defiance.
Voters appear to be seeking stability following Trump’s threats regarding Greenland, and Frederiksen is positioning herself as a trustworthy European leader. Her Social Democrats are attempting to capitalize on national sentiment towards the U.S. President.
Projections suggest Frederiksen is likely to win, with overseas seats from Denmark’s autonomous territories potentially playing a crucial role in a close result.
