US President Donald Trump has stated he no longer feels obliged to think only of peace after not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, and he reiterated his demand for control over Greenland. In a message directed to Norway's Prime Minister, Trump attributed his exclusion from the Nobel accolades to Norway's decision.
He expressed, 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 US. He further emphasized, The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland.
CBS News confirmed the contents of Trump's message, which came as a response to texts sent by Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and Finland’s president, Alexander Stubb. Støre highlighted the opposition to proposed tariff increases tied to the ongoing Greenland dispute and suggested a de-escalation in tensions, proposing a three-way phone call.
Despite Trump's claims, Støre clarified that the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded by an independent committee, not the Norwegian government. Trump's robust interest in acquiring Greenland has been apparent, emphasizing its strategic position for defense and tracking potential threats.
He has not ruled out the use of military force for acquiring the island and has declared intentions to impose a 10% tariff on goods from eight NATO allies if they oppose his takeover plans, with threats to escalate to 25% by June.
In his communications, Trump questioned Denmark's claim over Greenland, suggesting its historical ownership was not legitimate. He concluded by asserting his contributions to NATO, demanding the alliance reciprocate for the benefit of the United States.
The weekend's developments come amid rising military activity in the Arctic and plans by Denmark and Greenland to increase their presence in response to geopolitical dynamics.
As tensions mount, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and other European leaders have called into question the morality of tariff threats against allies, underscoring the sovereignty of the Greenland people over their future.
