Former President Donald Trump’s latest broadside hit Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre like a thunderbolt: no Nobel Peace Prize means no more playing nice, and America wants Greenland under full control.
In the confirmed message, Trump vented about the prize denial despite his role in averting eight wars. ‘I no longer feel compelled to think about peace,’ he stated, prioritizing U.S. interests amid global threats.
He dismantled Denmark’s hold on Greenland—no solid papers, just ancient voyages—and stressed defenses against Russian or Chinese encroachment. Trump’s NATO credentials, he claimed, demand payback: secure the island for collective security.
Støre disclosed details to VG, confirming the Sunday reply to joint messaging with Finland’s leader, shared widely among allies post-emergency huddle. Norway’s government stays apart from the autonomous Nobel panel, yet faces Trump’s ire repeatedly.
Greenland remains Trump’s fixation, tied to military and mineral stakes. His persistent prize campaigning contrasts the committee’s choices, like Machado’s ill-fated gift attempt last year.
This clash exposes NATO strains and Arctic power plays, with Trump’s unfiltered style reshaping alliance dynamics. As world watches, questions mount on whether rhetoric foreshadows action.
