A tongue-in-cheek social media post has gone viral after suggesting an unusual “diplomatic solution” to ease tensions between the United States and Denmark over Greenland — by marrying off former US President Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron Trump, to Denmark’s Princess Isabella.

The idea, first floated by X (formerly Twitter) user @cinecitta2030, comes amid renewed controversy surrounding Trump’s long-standing interest in purchasing Greenland, a self-governing territory within the Kingdom of Denmark. Over recent months, Trump has reiterated his desire to acquire the Arctic island, a move that has sparked sharp criticism from Danish officials and lawmakers. Reports of aggressive rhetoric, including suggestions of military pressure, have further strained relations.
Against this backdrop, the social media user jokingly proposed a royal marriage as a way out of the impasse. “The simple diplomatic solution is Barron Trump marries Princess Isabella of Denmark and Greenland is given to America as dowry payment,” the post read. The tweet quickly gained traction, racking up more than six million views within days.
Princess Isabella, 18, is the eldest daughter of Denmark’s King Frederik X and Queen Mary and is second in line to the Danish throne. Barron Trump, 19, has largely remained out of the political spotlight, making the suggestion all the more humorous for online audiences.

The post sparked a wave of reactions, with many users playing along. “He is handsome and smart, she is beautiful and smart. Sounds like a great deal,” one user commented, while others joked about medieval-style diplomacy making a comeback in modern geopolitics.
Despite the viral buzz, Danish officials have not responded to the suggestion, and there is no indication that the royal family or the Trump family has taken notice of the joke. Still, the episode highlights how social media continues to shape and satirise global political debates, offering humour as a release valve amid serious international tensions.
