Denmark calls an early election following tense US-Greenland standoff

Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said Thursday that she had scheduled this year's general election for March 24, against a backdrop of tensions with both the United States and Russia. The vote comes at a time when Denmark's relationship with the United States -- which Copenhagen considers its closest ally -- has been strained over US President Donald Trump's desire to acquire Greenland.
