Trump Backtracks on Nobel Peace Prize Desire, Cites Norway's Influence

• Donald Trump stated he "did not care" about the Nobel Peace Prize, reversing his previous stance of actively campaigning for the award.
• His comments came a day after sending a letter to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre regarding the Nobel Committee's decision.
• In the letter, Trump linked the Nobel decision to his approach on Greenland, suggesting he no longer felt obligated to prioritize "Peace" purely.
• Trump claimed he had stopped "8 Wars PLUS" and had done more for NATO than anyone since its founding, asserting the US needs "Complete and Total Control of Greenland."
• Norwegian PM Støre clarified that the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded by an independent committee, not the Norwegian government, and confirmed receiving Trump's message.

Why It Matters: Trump publicly disavows interest in the Nobel Peace Prize, linking his changed stance to Norway's influence.
