Trump Links Greenland Bid to Nobel Peace Prize Snub: 'No Nobel, No Peace'

  • Donald Trump sent a letter to Norway's PM Jonas Gahr Støre, linking his Greenland acquisition threat to being denied the Nobel Peace Prize.
  • Trump stated that since he was not awarded the prize for stopping 8 wars, he no longer feels obligated to prioritize only peace, but rather what is good for the US.
  • He asserted that the world is not secure without 'Complete and Total Control of Greenland' and claimed Denmark cannot protect the island from Russia and China.
  • Trump also argued Denmark has no right of ownership over Greenland, citing a lack of written documents.
  • The US President threatened tariffs on European alliance members if he doesn't gain control of Greenland, prompting EU leaders to consider retaliatory measures.

Why It Matters: Trump linked his aggressive pursuit of Greenland to a Nobel Peace Prize snub, escalating tensions with European allies.
