Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s new centre-left government will resist US pressure over the future of Greenland, tackle domestic inflation and expand the welfare state, according to a policy document published yesterday. After more than two months of negotiations, Frederiksen, 48, on Monday announced an agreement to form her third consecutive government, which could make her Denmark’s longest-serving prime minister since the second World War.
