"Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize ... 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," Trump's message to Jonas Gahr Støre said. "The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland." The Norwegian government has no control over how the Nobel Committee awards its prizes. Greenland is a territory of Denmark, not Norway."
"Late last night Trump posted again on social media, "NATO has been telling Denmark, for 20 years, that 'you have to get the Russian threat away from Greenland.' Unfortunately, Denmark has been unable to do anything about it. Now it is time, and it will be done!!!" Traders, dismayed at the prospect of a renewed trade war between the U.S. and Europe, reacted by driving down equities all over the world."
President Trump texted the prime minister of Norway saying he no longer felt obliged to think purely of peace after not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize and that the world is not secure unless the United States has complete control of Greenland. The Norwegian government has no control over Nobel awards and Greenland is a Danish territory. Trump later posted about NATO urging Denmark to address a Russian threat in Greenland and vowed action. Global stock markets fell sharply, Bitcoin declined, gold hit a record high, and analysts feared renewed U.S.-Europe tensions.
