Post-election stalemate in Denmark

Denmark's Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen failed to form a center-right government, causing a parliamentary stalemate.
March election led to a fragmented parliament with 12 parties.
Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen resigned after Social Democrats had their worst result since 1903.
Poulsen, leader of the right-wing Liberal Party, was asked by King Frederik to explore government options.
King Frederik asked caretaker PM Mette Frederiksen to try again to form a government.
Pressure is likely from Moderate Party leader Lars Lokke Rasmussen, whose support is crucial.
