Overview

• A satirical petition launched in Denmark proposes buying California from the U.S. for $1 trillion, citing its sunny weather, tech dominance, and cultural landmarks like Disneyland.
• The petition, titled 'Make California Great Again,' has already amassed over 215,000 signatures with a goal of 500,000 signatures.
• Organizers humorously suggest renaming Disneyland to 'Hans Christian Andersenland' and adding Danish cultural elements like Viking-themed Mickey Mouse.
• The initiative responds to Donald Trump's revived ambition to annex Greenland, a Danish autonomous territory, which he first proposed in 2019 for its strategic and resource value.
• Greenland's leaders, backed by Denmark, have firmly rejected Trump's plans, emphasizing the island's autonomy and upcoming local elections on March 11.
