Denmark will conduct parliamentary elections on March 24, following an announcement by Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen. This decision comes as Frederiksen strives to capitalize on her boosted popularity, which she has gained through her unwavering position against U.S. pressures regarding Greenland. In recent months, she has rallied European leaders in response to former President Donald Trump's renewed interest in the strategic Arctic territory, which is an autonomous part of the Danish kingdom.

Frederiksen's approach has garnered increasing approval at home, particularly as it contrasts with rising public discontent regarding the cost of living and social welfare issues. Polls indicate that her international appeal and domestic support have strengthened significantly through her handling of Greenland's situation. This political maneuvering suggests that Frederiksen is not only looking to consolidate her power domestically but also to enhance Denmark's international standing amid geopolitical tensions.

The Greenland crisis has further elevated Frederiksen's profile on the global stage, building on her previous recognition for effectively managing Denmark's COVID-19 response. As the elections approach, her political strategy appears focused on sustaining momentum from these issues, reflecting a blend of domestic and international priorities that resonate with voters, potentially impacting the future trajectory of Denmark’s foreign relations and internal policies.
