Danish Foreign Minister Becomes Kingmaker After Trump Standoff

His pivotal position following Tuesday’s general election comes as the direct result of taking on Donald Trump over Greenland. The 61-year-old leader of the centrist Moderates has emerged as the ultimate kingmaker in the country’s most fractured election in decades, buoyed by a surge in support after his combative approach to Washington during the Greenland crisis in January.
