Denmark Names New Defense Minister in Minor Cabinet Reshuffle

Denmark Names New Defense Minister in Minor Cabinet Reshuffle

Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen tweaked her government, making changes in three ministries following recent scandals.

Morten Bodskov was appointed as defense minister, leaving his previous position as tax minister to Jeppe Bruus, the Social Democrat minority government said on Friday. 

The previous defense minister, Trine Bramsen, had been in charge while a major scandal involving the country's military intelligence service unfolded. She will now take over as transport minister replacing Benny Engelbrecht, who is leaving after withholding information from the parliament on carbon emissions during negotiations over a major infrastructure package in 2021.
