Trump's Greenland Purchase Revival Spurs Danish Satirical Petition to Buy California

A new U.S. proposal to acquire Greenland has triggered backlash in Denmark, where over 200,000 citizens have signed a humorous petition to buy California instead.

• Republican Congressman Earl Carter has introduced a bill to purchase Greenland and rename it 'Red, White and Blueland,' echoing Donald Trump's earlier proposals.
• Danish officials have strongly criticized the U.S. initiative, calling it harmful to diplomatic relations and reaffirming that Greenland is not for sale.
• In response, Danish citizens launched a satirical petition proposing to buy California from the U.S., gathering over 200,000 signatures.
• The petition humorously outlines plans for California, including renaming Disneyland, introducing 'hygge' culture, and implementing universal healthcare.
• Tensions over Trump's territorial ambitions have grown, with Denmark increasing its military presence in Greenland and public sentiment toward the U.S. souring.
