Mette Frederiksen announces Denmark will hold snap election

Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen announced a snap election to be held on March 24. She suggested this date to King Frederik following a surge in support for her Social Democrats after tensions with the U.S. over Greenland. Frederiksen emphasized that her government will maintain focus on Denmark's interests amid the election campaign. Despite a previous defeat in local elections, recent polls show her party could capture 22% of the vote. Frederiksen remains open to various coalition possibilities after the election, saying, “I am not ruling anything out in advance.”
