Danish Petition Satirically Proposes Buying California in Response to Trump’s Greenland Plans
The petition, which has gathered over 215,000 signatures, mocks Donald Trump's renewed push to annex Greenland by suggesting Denmark purchase California for $1 trillion.
- 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.
