Polls open in key Denmark elections clouded by Trump’s Greenland threat
AI Summary
Denmark is holding parliamentary elections where Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of the Social Democrats is seeking a third term. Voters are casting ballots to fill the 179-seat parliament, with initial results expected in the evening. Frederiksen's main challenger is Troels Lund Poulsen, the centre-right Defence Minister from the Venstre party. While Frederiksen gained popularity for rejecting former US President Trump's interest in Greenland, domestic issues like the rising cost of living, social program cuts, agriculture, and immigration have dominated the campaign. Polls suggest the Social Democrats may remain the largest party, despite potentially facing their weakest result in over a century.
