Denmark's Frederiksen gets new chance to form government after centre-right talks fail

Denmark's acting Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen failed to form a centre-right government, extending a post-election stalemate in parliament.
The March election resulted in a fragmented parliament with 12 parties, and Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen resigned after her Social Democrats suffered their worst result since 1903 despite remaining the largest party.
Poulsen, leader of the right-wing Liberal Party, was asked by King Frederik to explore government options following Frederiksen's failed coalition talks.
King Frederik has asked caretaker Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen to try again to form a government, with pressure likely from Moderate Party leader Lars Lokke Rasmussen, whose support is crucial.
