A lighthearted petition to purchase California for Denmark gained over 200,000 supporters, satirizing President Trump's proposal to acquire Greenland. The petition, initiated by Swiss-French Xavier Dutoit, emphasizes California's sunny climate as a dream fit for Denmark. Dutoit’s concept emerged during a Philippines trip, catalyzed by an American’s comments on Trump’s Greenland ambitions. The project also highlights the Danish connection to Solvang, California—a city with Danish roots and cultural ties. As the petition gains traction, it reflects public sentiment and the absurdity of international territorial discussions.
"It is in the national interest to promote the extraordinary heritage of our Nation, so California will become New Denmark. Los Angeles? More like Ls Angeles," it says.
"The Trump-Greenland issue is, by far, the biggest political issue in this country at the moment; it is considered a very depressing and a very dangerous situation," Haar told AP.
