Political career
Poulsen was first elected into parliament at the 2001 Danish general election.[1]
In late 2011, he became the center of a dispute regarding the disclosure of confidential documents in favor of discrediting the former Danish prime minister, Helle Thorning-Schmidt and her husband Stephen Kinnock due to their tax relations.[2] The affair happened in the 2011 Danish parliamentary election and involved the head of SKAT (The Danish tax agency) Copenhagen (Erling Andersen), the Permanent Secretary of State in the Ministry of Taxes (Peter Loft) and the spindoctor of Troels Lund Poulsen (Peter Arnfeldt).[3]
He was appointed minister of economic affairs on 15 December 2022 when Mette Frederiksen presented her second cabinet.[4] On 6 February 2023, he became acting minister of defence while Jakob Ellemann-Jensen was on leave.[5]
