Not really though. The USA issue wasn’t discussed much if at all during the election campaigns, because parties from both sides are in agreement on this. It wouldn’t have moved any votes.
Also, the foreign minister who managed the issue well is not from the party in charge. Perhaps he personally benefitted from it, but all the parties in the previous coalition (including his) lost votes, mainly because voters didn’t like the unusual coalition. They’re going to do it again though. She surely didn’t call the election for his sake.
The timing probably had more to do with local news than international. The topics of water pollution, animal welfare, climate and food prices were already recently present before she called the election. It made sense that way.
