The Danish Connection: 3 February 2025

The Danish Connection

It’s been a newsworthy few weeks for Denmark!

This week on The Danish Connection, we speak to The Copenhagen Post’s co-editor Nicolai Kampman about why Trump is trying to buy Greenland (again), what it means for Greenlanders, and how the Danish government is reacting.

We also discuss why 90% of internationals are being charged too much rent in Denmark and provide actionable tips to help you avoid it.

Lastly, we examine statistics on homelessness in Denmark and explore why it might be on the rise.

As always you can find us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

Remember – this is your place to share inquiries, opinions, and tales of the immigrant experience in Denmark – and we want to hear from you. Pop us a DM on Instagram or via email thedanishconnectionnews@gmail.com and let us know if you have a story you would like to contribute.
