Danish Activists Propose a Swap: Greenland for California
U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal to annex Greenland has sparked a strong reaction in Denmark. In response, a group of Danish activists has put forward an unexpected counteroffer: they suggest exchanging Greenland for California.
Denmark’s Response to Trump’s Ambitions
The activists argue that California, with its thriving economy, tech hubs, and progressive policies, would be better managed under Denmark’s governance. They claim that Copenhagen could provide more effective governance and fairer social policies than Washington.
Furthermore, the activists noted that the U.S. has historically interfered in other nations’ affairs, so Denmark might as well return the favor.
Why Does the U.S. Want Greenland?
Trump is not the first U.S. leader interested in acquiring the world’s largest island. In 1946, the U.S. offered Denmark $100 million for Greenland, but the proposal was rejected.
America’s interest in Greenland stems from its strategic location in the Arctic and its rich natural resources, including oil, gas, and rare earth metals. When Trump revived the idea in 2019, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called it “absurd,” leading to a diplomatic standoff.
The Political Message Behind the Proposal
While this initiative holds no legal weight, it highlights the European skepticism toward U.S. policies. The proposal has sparked intense debates on social media, with many users supporting the idea.
Whether this proposal will get an official response remains unclear, but one thing is certain: the Danes have found a creative way to mock Trump’s ambitions.
