Red baseball caps emblazoned with "Make America Go Away," a parody of former U.S. President Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan, have become a symbol of protest against potential U.S. interest in Greenland. The caps gained traction following heightened rhetoric from the Trump administration regarding the territory.

The hats, created by Jesper Rabe Tonnesen, a vintage clothing store owner in Copenhagen, initially saw limited success last year. However, their popularity surged recently, appearing at public demonstrations, including a protest held in Copenhagen over the weekend.

The demonstrations and the caps reflect a sentiment of support for Greenland and opposition to U.S. policy, according to some participants. "I want to show my support to Greenland and also show that I don’t like the president of the United States," said Lars Hermansen, a 76-year-old Copenhagen resident who wore the cap at the Saturday protest.

The situation arose after reports surfaced that then-President Trump was considering the possibility of the U.S. purchasing Greenland, an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. The suggestion was met with resistance from both Danish and Greenlandic officials.

European governments have largely rallied behind Denmark, emphasizing the importance of defending Arctic regions and cautioning that actions undermining Greenland could pose a threat to Western security. The incident also highlighted the strategic importance of Greenland, given its location and natural resources.

While the U.S. government has not formally pursued the acquisition of Greenland, the episode has sparked debate about international relations in the Arctic and the balance of power in the region. The incident also underscored the complex relationship between Denmark, Greenland, and the United States. The future of U.S.-Greenland relations remains to be seen.
