Thousands of Danes Sign Petition to Buy California from US

A petition aims to buy California for a trillion dollars, claiming over 200,000 signatures by midmorning Wednesday.
Xavier Dutoit, the creator of the petition, humorously stated that Trump might sell California since he isn't a fan of the state.
Greenland’s Prime Minister, M�te B. Egede, rejected the idea, stating that Greenland is for the Greenlandic people and does not want to be Danish or American.
Dutoit acknowledged that the proposal is humorous and not serious, as he is not even Danish himself.
