Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has staked her leadership on defying U.S. President Donald Trump over Greenland. Convincing voters at home to give her a third term is proving harder.
She heads into a March 24 general election betting that her defiant stand over the Arctic island will overcome growing doubts about whether she has paid enough attention to a cost-of-living crisis in Denmark.
Frederiksen, whose Social Democrats suffered a historic defeat in municipal elections last November, has seen a revival this year which could make her Denmark's longest-serving leader since World War Two if she completes another full term.
