"The message from Trump to Stre on Monday came after the prime minister reached out to him, protesting tariff threats over European resistance to acquiring Greenland. In his reply, the president explicitly tied his long-running demand that Denmark relinquish control of Greenland to his personal resentment over being denied the Nobel Peace Prize. He argued that Denmark has no legitimate claim to the territory and, without offering evidence, claimed Copenhagen would be unable to defend Greenland from Russia or China."
"Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, Trump wrote, repeating his assertion that the world is not secure unless we have complete and total control of Greenland. The Norwegian Nobel Committee operates independently of any government body, and entries for the 2025 nominees ended before the president took office."
Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre contacted President Donald Trump to protest tariff threats tied to European resistance to a U.S. effort to acquire Greenland. Trump replied by linking his long-standing demand that Denmark relinquish Greenland to personal resentment over not receiving a Nobel Peace Prize. He argued Denmark lacked legitimate claim and, without offering evidence, claimed Copenhagen could not defend Greenland from Russia or China. Trump wrote that he no longer feels obliged to "think purely of Peace" and repeated that the world is insecure without total U.S. control of Greenland. The Norwegian Nobel Committee operates independently and 2025 entries closed before Trump took office. Maria Corina Machado gifted Trump last year’s medal, and late-night hosts mocked the gesture and offered awards.
