Let's Chat

Denmark's government sees a notable increase in support after Donald Trump's return to the White House, although it's still short of the 2022 election results.

Take A Peek

Initially, in January 2022, the three parties comprising the coalition - the Social Democrats, Liberals, and Moderates - managed only a meager 31.8 percent according to a survey by Voxmeter. Flash forward to today, and the current poll by Voxmeter shows these parties at a combined 37.2 percent.

The new poll conducted between March 31st and April 6th, involving 1,016 respondents aged 18 and over, reveals a significant leap in public backing. Despite this, the score of 37.2 percent is still a considerable distance from the 2022 election result of 50.1 percent for the coalition parties.

Trump's Back, 'Land' on the Radar

Trump has frequently pledged in the recent months his ambition to exert control over Greenland, an autonomous part of Denmark's dominion. Initially, the Danish government showed cautious hesitation in response, later displaying firm resistance against the US administration's overtures.

Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen recently visited Greenland, publicly stating that the territory cannot succumb to the US.

Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, also crafting a strong critique of the US discourse on Greenland, has experienced an upswing in popularity, with his Moderates currently polling at 4.3 percent in comparison to the 3.2 percent they managed in January.

Moderates’ Missteps

The Moderates scooped up 9.3 percent of the vote in the 2022 election, but this figure took a hit in 2024 due to a sequence of internal scandals involving alleged workplace bullying. Moreover, several Moderate MPs have decided to leave the party, decreasing their parliamentary representation from 16 to 12 seats.

Enrichment Data:

Based on available data, there's no evidence to suggest that Donald Trump's 2025 return to the White House (taking office on January 20, 2025[4]) impacted Denmark's government or its stance on Greenland. The researched materials mainly focus on domestic U.S. actions during Trump's first 100 days in office (2025), covering:

Clemency for January 6 defendants: Trump granted pardons to participants in the 2021 Capitol attack immediately upon returning to the presidency[1][3].
Staffing changes: Replacement of inspectors general and appointment of loyalists to key legal positions[1].
Policy priorities: Pledges to declare a border emergency, withdraw from the Paris climate agreement, and engage in trade wars[2][4].

The gathered resources contain no references to Denmark, Greenland, or international affairs relevant to this timeframe. The question seems to mix up Trump's 2017–2021 presidency (when he considered buying Greenland, causing diplomatic tension) with his 2025 inauguration, for which no Greenland-related actions are documented in the provided sources.

For up-to-date information on Denmark-Greenland relations under Trump’s 2025 administration, non-U.S.-focused sources would be advised.

The rising support for Denmark's current government, as indicated by recent polls, may be attributed to the return of Donald Trump to the White House, even though it falls short of the 2022 election results.
Politicians and the public in Denmark have shown strong interest in the arts, as evidenced by the increased popularity of Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, who has expressed strong criticism towards the US's discourse on Greenland.
Despite Denmark's firm resistance against the US's overtures regarding Greenland, the controversy around Greenland continues to be a significant topic within Danish general-news and politics.
The Moderates, one of the three parties comprising Denmark's coalition government, have experienced a decline in support due to internal scandals, dropping from 9.3 percent in the 2022 election to current poll numbers of 4.3 percent.
Polls and surveys have become an essential part of understanding the sentiment and opinions of the Danish public, particularly in matters related to politics, space, and current events such as the status of Greenland.
