Denmark gets four-party centre-left government after months of negotiations

Denmark's Frederiksen secures third term as prime minister

"A government was able to be formed, after long negotiations," she told reporters after meeting with the country's king, Frederik X.

The 48-year-old previously stood up to US President Donald Trump in response to his threats to take over Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory.

Neither Denmark's right- nor left-wing bloc secured a majority in the March 24 election, resulting in a hung parliament. Frederiksen's Social Democrats emerged at their weakest since 1903 with 38 seats but remained the largest party. Frederiksen's new coalition holds 82 of the 179 seats in parliament. While that is short of the 90 seats needed for a majority, minority governments are common in Denmark and usually rely on support from other parties.
