Denmark Calls Early Election Amid Growing Public Support for Greenlandic Autonomy Move
Denmark is set to hold early elections on March 24 after Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called a snap parliamentary election in response to growing public support related to Trump's push for Greenland autonomy.
Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has called a snap parliamentary election on March 24 in response to growing public support for her government amid US President Donald Trump's push to make Greenland an American territory. The move is seen as an attempt by Frederiksen to consolidate her administration's position before the election. Several Danish parties have opposed Trump's plan, and the country is expected to see a tight contest between supporters of the ruling Social Democratic party and opposition forces. The early election is scheduled for March 24, just weeks after US President Donald Trump announced plans to explore the possibility of Greenland becoming an American territory.
