"Denmark's Diplomatic Moves: Speculation, Invitations, and Peace Talks"

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen's upcoming visit to the White House has sparked speculation that she could be a serious contender to lead NATO, which traditionally requires Washington's blessing. Frederiksen checks off several boxes, including being a female candidate and a strong Ukraine supporter. However, Denmark's lagging defense spending and the fact that a former Danish Prime Minister previously held the NATO role could be concerns. Other possible candidates include Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace, and Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas.
