Novo Nordisk CEO Attends Government Meeting

Lars Fruergaard Jørgensen, CEO of the pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk, will attend a meeting with the government on Thursday, confirmed by Novo Nordisk. The CEOs of Danish Industry and Danish Business, Lars Sandahl Sørensen and Brian Mikkelsen, are also confirmed participants. The meeting is scheduled a day after Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen discussed trade importance and Danish contributions to US jobs in a call with incoming President Donald Trump. Trump has considered imposing tariffs on Danish goods if Denmark does not agree to sell Greenland, which Frederiksen countered by reassurance that Greenland is not for sale. The US is Denmark’s largest export market, raising concerns about the potential impact of such threats on Danish businesses.
