Denmark Votes and EU Makes a Deal

132

Today is an important day for politics. People vote in Denmark. They choose their new government. The current leader is Mette Frederiksen. She wants to rule again. Her main topic is strict rules for people moving in. She wants few refugees to come to Denmark.

A person running against her is Troels Lund Poulsen. He is in another party. Many parties in Denmark think the same about migration. They want to keep strict rules. Critics say these rules are too hard. They think the homes for foreigners are bad.

Far away something else happened. The European Union and Australia made a deal. This is called a free trade agreement. Ursula von der Leyen and Anthony Albanese signed it. Now companies can sell goods more easily. Trade taxes become smaller. The talks took 8 years.
