Meanwhile, the debate concerning data security and TikTok’s potential risks has gained traction among EU and Danish politicians and policymakers.

The question is: is it possible for TikTok to be banned in Denmark?

If you think these are very strong numbers, you should know that, unlike many Western countries where voter turnout is very low, the participation rate in Denmark is very high.

With 100,363 international residents being able to vote in the November municipality and regional elections in Copenhagen alone, the question is: Will they vote, and if not, why?

Donald Trump Jr. is traveling to Greenland for a private visit as his father, President-elect Donald Trump, continues to show interest in the Danish territory. The level of concern for USA´s intentions on Greenland has never been so high

While Trump Jr.’s official explanation for visiting Greenland is the promotion of podcast material, the trip is raising concerns in Denmark and Greenland due to several statements made by Donald Trump regarding a possible American ownership of the island.
