A lighthearted Danish petition to buy the state of California and “bring hygge to Hollywood” comes in response to President Donald Trump's talk about taking control of Greenland, a vast and mineral-rich Arctic island, from Denmark.
But in 2019, Trump scrapped a trip to Denmark and said the cancellation was because Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen made a “nasty” statement when she rejected his first-term idea of buying Greenland as an absurdity.
The city is popular with tourists, who come in droves for its aebleskiver pastries, Scandinavian windmills, a main street called “Copenhagen Drive” and, of course, a Hans Christian Andersen Museum to honor the famous Danish fairy tale author.
Before taking office last month, Trump said he would not rule out the use of military force to seize control of the island, calling it vital to U.S. national security.
The president's oldest son, Donald Trump Jr., visited Greenland last month and told citizens: “We’re going to treat you well.”.
