Sources in Copenhagen confirm that Mette Frederiksen, Denmark’s incoming Prime Minister, has finalised a coalition government with the single-minded purpose of securing a post-Brexit trade deal with the United Kingdom. The deal, sources say, is not just about economics but about power. Frederiksen’s new administration, a fragile alliance of Social Democrats and centrist parties, has placed the UK pact at the top of its legislative agenda.
Uncovered documents from the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs show that the government is willing to make significant concessions on fisheries and agricultural standards to get the deal done. Critics warn that this could undermine Danish sovereignty, but Frederiksen’s team argues that without a deal, Denmark’s economy will suffer. The real question is who benefits.
A leaked memo from the Danish Chamber of Commerce reveals that the UK deal is expected to boost trade by 15 per cent within two years, but the fine print shows that the biggest winners will be multinational corporations based in London. Frederiksen’s government is expected to face a vote of confidence next week, but all signs point to a swift approval. The clock is ticking.
The UK is watching, and so is Brussels.
