Denmark Holds Snap Election Amid Trump Greenland Pressure; Exit Poll Shows No Clear Winner
4.3 million Danish voters went to polls in a snap parliamentary election driven largely by Trump's continuing pressure to acquire Greenland. PM Frederiksen's firm rejection of Trump's bid boosted her approval ratings. Exit polls indicate no clear winner, with neither the left-leaning nor right-leaning bloc projected to secure a majority of the 179 Folketing seats. Greenland's two parliamentary seats could prove decisive in government formation. Despite international focus on the Greenland dispute, domestic issues, particularly food and fuel prices driven by the Iran war, dominated the campaign.
