Trump tells Norway he no longer feels bound to prioritize peace alone
President Donald Trump sent a written message to Norway’s prime minister stating that he no longer feels bound “to think purely of Peace” after not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, while again pressing for U.S. control over Greenland.
The message, circulated by the U.S. administration to other nations, came in response to a note from Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and Finnish President Alexander Stubb. The two leaders had urged Trump to de-escalate tensions after he announced tariffs on European allies who refused to allow the U.S. to take control of Greenland, and they requested a phone call to discuss the matter. Trump’s reply arrived shortly after their message, asserting his focus on what he considers “good and proper for the United States.”
“Dear Jonas: 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,” Trump wrote. He has previously campaigned for the Nobel Peace Prize, which was awarded last year to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado. Machado recently presented Trump with her gold medal at the White House, though the Norwegian Nobel Committee has stated the prize cannot be transferred, shared, or revoked.
Trump also questioned Danish sovereignty over Greenland in the note, writing, “Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a ‘right of ownership’ anyway? There are no written documents; it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also.” Danish sovereignty is legally recognized through treaties dating back to 1814, and the U.S. has consistently acknowledged Greenland as part of the Kingdom of Denmark.
Trump concluded the message by emphasizing his own contributions to NATO and insisting on U.S. control over Greenland: “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. Thank you! President DJT.”
