Denmark's Social Democratic leader, Mette Frederiksen, has secured a third consecutive term as prime minister by forming a centre-left coalition government.

The agreement puts an end to months of political uncertainty following a multi-party election in March, where 12 different parties won seats in the Danish parliament.

This political move comes during a tense period in Denmark's relationship with the United States, as President Donald Trump continues to express interest in the strategic future of Greenland.
