Trump Links Nobel Snub to Renewed Greenland Claim

WASHINGTON (Web Desk) – US President Donald Trump has said he no longer feels bound to focus solely on peace after failing to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, while once again reiterating his demand for American control over Greenland.

In a message sent to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, Trump blamed Norway for not awarding him the prestigious prize. He claimed that despite what he described as his role in stopping multiple wars, the decision had altered his approach to international affairs.

According to US media, Trump wrote that he no longer felt an obligation to think “purely of peace,” although peace would remain a priority, adding that he could now focus on what he believes is in the best interest of the United States. He also asserted that global security would remain at risk unless the US gained “complete and total control of Greenland.”

In his response, Prime Minister Støre clarified that the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded by an independent committee and not by the Norwegian government. He said the message from Trump came after he and Finnish President Alexander Stubb had contacted the US president to express opposition to proposed tariff increases linked to the Greenland dispute and urged de-escalation.

Trump has repeatedly voiced frustration over not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize and has intensified his rhetoric about Greenland, arguing that the strategically located Arctic island is vital for US national security. Greenland’s position makes it significant for missile early-warning systems and monitoring Arctic shipping routes.

The US president has previously stated that Washington should purchase Greenland and has not ruled out the use of military force to take control of the territory, despite Denmark being a NATO ally.
