Red baseball caps emblazoned with "Make America Go Away," a parody of former President Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan, have emerged as a symbol of protest in Denmark and Greenland following the Trump administration's interest in acquiring the autonomous Danish territory. The caps have gained traction at public demonstrations and on social media platforms.

The hats, created by Jesper Rabe Tonnesen, a vintage clothing store owner in Copenhagen, initially saw limited sales last year. However, interest surged following increased rhetoric from the Trump administration regarding Greenland. A demonstration held in Copenhagen on Saturday saw participants donning the caps to express their views.

Lars Hermansen, a 76-year-old Copenhagen resident who wore the hat at the protest, stated, "I want to show my support to Greenland and also show that I don’t like the president of the United States."

The renewed attention on Greenland brought into focus the strategic importance of the Arctic region. European governments have voiced support for Denmark, emphasizing the need to protect Arctic territories and cautioning that actions against Greenland could undermine Western security interests.

The U.S. government's interest in Greenland sparked debate about sovereignty and international relations in the Arctic. The Danish government has consistently maintained that Greenland is not for sale. The incident also highlighted the complex relationship between Denmark and Greenland, which has significant autonomy but relies on Denmark for defense and foreign policy.

The appearance of the parody caps reflects a sentiment among some in Denmark and Greenland who oppose the idea of U.S. acquisition and disapprove of the Trump administration's approach to the issue. The caps continue to be available for purchase, and their visibility at protests and online suggests ongoing public interest in the matter.
