Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen faces a crucial election next week as the anti-Trump effect boosts her popularity. The sudden 5 percentage point gain in polls after President Trump reignited his efforts to annex Greenland has led Frederiksen to call an early election. This move aims to capitalize on the public’s sentiment against Trump, who had previously forced Denmark into its most serious foreign policy crisis since World War II. Like Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Frederiksen seeks a comeback victory by riding the anti-Trump wave, as Western leaders increasingly turn to domestic gains from opposing the US president’s aggressive actions.
