"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, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America,"
"I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland."
"I have clearly explained, including to president Trump what is well known, the prize is awarded by an independent Nobel Committee and not the Norwegian Government."
President Donald Trump sent messages and spoke publicly asserting that Norway did not give him the Nobel Peace Prize and implying Norwegian control over the award. He claimed credit for stopping eight wars and said he had done more for NATO than anyone since its founding. He argued that NATO should reciprocate for U.S. actions and insisted U.S. security requires control of Greenland. Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and the Norwegian Nobel Committee clarified that the prize is awarded by an independent committee, not the Norwegian government. The Nobel and NATO claims were factually inaccurate.
