In response to President Trump's controversial comments about acquiring Greenland, a lighthearted Danish petition has emerged, humorously proposing to buy California. The petition already has over 200,000 signatures, with a goal of 500,000. It emphasizes the nation's need for more sunlight and fun, jokingly suggesting that California should become 'New Denmark.' The move showcases the Danish ability to respond to diplomatic tensions with humor, while also highlighting the cultural connections between Denmark and its American counterpart, particularly through the town of Solvang.
"Have you ever looked at a map and thought, 'You know what Denmark needs? More sunshine, palm trees, and roller skates,'?"
"It is in the national interest to promote the extraordinary heritage of our Nation, so California will become New Denmark."
