Voting under way in Denmark’s elections clouded by Trump’s Greenland threat

Danish voters are heading to polls in elections where Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is projected to secure a third term, bolstered by her public resistance to President Trump's stated interest in acquiring Greenland. The election comes weeks after Trump revived decades-old speculation about purchasing the autonomous Danish territory, a move Frederiksen firmly rejected. Frederiksen's firm stance appears to have strengthened her political position domestically, resonating with Danish voters who view sovereignty over Greenland as non-negotiable. The outcome will determine Denmark's government composition at a moment of heightened US-Nordic tensions over Arctic geopolitics and NATO commitments. The election reflects how Trump's foreign policy rhetoric is reshaping political dynamics across allied nations.
