Denmark Election Amid Greenland, Wealth Tax

Denmark is holding a national election where Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is seeking a third term. Her campaign has been influenced by her strong stance against Donald Trump's past interest in Denmark — Greenland, although domestic concerns like the cost of living, a proposed wealth tax, and immigration debates have taken center stage. Opinion polls suggest Frederiksen's Social Democrats are heading for their weakest result since before World War II, and her coalition is projected to lose its parliamentary majority. The outcome may hinge on Lars Løkke Rasmussen, leader of the centrist Moderates, who is positioned to be a kingmaker. The four parliamentary seats allocated to candidates from Denmark — Greenland and the Denmark — Faroe Islands could also prove decisive. Business leaders from companies like Vestas, A.P. Moller–Maersk, Visma — Visma Dinero, and The Lego Group have criticized Frederiksen's proposed wealth tax, raising concerns about its potential negative impact on the Danish economy.
