Denmark's Centre-Right Coalition Talks Fail, Frederiksen Asked to Form Government Again

Denmark's efforts to form a new government remain stalled after centre-right coalition talks led by Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen failed, extending the post-election deadlock following the March vote. Despite the Social Democrats suffering their worst result since 1903, caretaker Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen was asked by King Frederik to attempt forming a government again, aiming for a third consecutive term.
