Can’t open links from emails

Hi i can't open any links in my mail app on my macbook. Every time i try to click or open, i can only copy the link and then paste it in safari. Which is very annoying. How do i fix this?

To quit Mail, click Mail in the top menu with the app app, then click Quit in the menu. After you quit Mail, open and see if the issue persists.
