AP News COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen announced Thursday that the Scandinavian country will hold a parliamentary election on March 24, giving voters a say several months early as the country digests a standoff with the U.S. over President Donald Trump's designs on Greenland.
