Social Democrats Gain Momentum as Denmark Votes Early
United States President Donald Trump's threats to annex Greenland dominated Danish politics as Social Democrats' support rose to 22%, leading to earlier election than October 31.
Stakes include control of Folketing and territorial representation with 179 seats (4 for Faroe Islands and Greenland), as Denmark and Greenland reject sovereignty despite over 100 United States military personnel stationed in Greenland.
Outcome will shape coalition math and leadership, with PM Frederiksen stating she'll remain PM if Social Democrats secure mandate.
European allies support Denmark, with Frederiksen stressing need to define US relationship.
