Denmark Launches Satirical Petition to Buy California in Response to Trump’s Greenland Plans

The online campaign, which has gathered nearly 200,000 signatures, parodies President Trump’s push to acquire Greenland, a Danish territory.

  • A Danish petition humorously proposes buying California for $1 trillion, citing reasons like sunshine, tech dominance, and renaming Disneyland to 'Hans Christian Andersenland.'
  • The campaign, titled 'Denmarkification,' mocks President Trump’s renewed efforts to purchase Greenland, which he claims is a U.S. national security priority.
  • President Trump has escalated rhetoric about acquiring Greenland, suggesting military or economic pressure, despite strong opposition from Denmark and Greenland’s leaders.
  • The petition has gained significant attention online, with over 200,000 signatures, and jokes about using LEGO executives and Danish pastries to negotiate the deal.
  • A U.S. Congressman introduced a bill to rename Greenland 'Red, White, and Blueland,' aligning with Trump’s vision of adding the territory to the United States.
