Denmark Calls Early Parliamentary Election Amid Greenland-US Tensions

Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has called a snap parliamentary election for March 24, 2026, months ahead of the scheduled deadline. The decision follows heightened tensions with the US over Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory, amid former President Trump's interest in acquiring the island. Frederiksen frames the election as crucial for Denmark's sovereignty, European security, and redefining relations with the US. The vote will test her leadership amid domestic criticism and shifting political alliances within Denmark's coalition government.
