In a message to Norway’s prime minister, President Donald Trump linked his insistence on taking over Greenland to his grievance over not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize — adding a new twist to Trump’s stoking of a trade war that is shaking the transatlantic alliance.
In the weekend text to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store, Trump wrote that he no longer needed to “think purely of Peace” after he didn’t win the peace prize last year — an award that the president has openly coveted and is bestowed by the Nobel Committee in Norway.
Trump then questioned the “ownership” of Greenland by Denmark, a NATO ally, and repeated his ambition for the U.S. to take “complete and total control” of the autonomous Danish territory. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Store confirmed Trump’s leaked message in a statement Monday. He said Trump was responding to a text that Store had sent on behalf of Norway and Finland, conveying opposition to U.S. tariffs against European nations rejecting the takeover of Greenland. “We pointed to the need to de-escalate and proposed a telephone conversation,” Store said.
The attempt to defuse tensions seems not to have worked. Trump’s reply came shortly after.
“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 in the text, which was first reported by PBS.
Store said he made his support for Greenland and Denmark clear, and that he has repeatedly explained to Trump that it is up to the Nobel Committee, not the Norwegian government, to award the annual peace prize.
On Monday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent sought to reframe the narrative. “It’s a complete canard to think President Trump’s action on Greenland is due to” not receiving the Nobel Prize, he told reporters on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland….
Note….
As usual?
Someone working for Trump HAS TO ‘clarify’ what the boss has said to make it NOT sound like what Donald ACTUALLY meant….
