Trump's Controversial Demand: Denmark and the Titanic.

Donald Trump wrote a message on X (which used to be called Twitter) to Denmark. He said Denmark is responsible for the Titanic sinking in 1912 and needs to pay money. He wants Denmark to pay 500 billion dollars or give the United States the island of Greenland.

Trump said Americans were on the Titanic and died because of an iceberg that came from Greenland. He said he will give money to the families of the people who died on the Titanic. He promised to give at least one million dollars to anyone who can prove their family members were on the ship.

The leader of Denmark, Mette Frederiksen, said she is surprised and doesn't know what to do. The Danish government will have a special meeting to talk about this. Experts think Denmark doesn't have enough money and might have to give Greenland to the United States.
