US President Donald Trump has overtly connected his intensified push to acquire Greenland with his failure to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. In a notable text message sent to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, Trump explicitly stated that, since Norway's 'Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize,' he no longer felt 'an obligation to think purely of Peace,' implying he would now prioritize actions deemed 'good and proper for the United States of America.' He further questioned Denmark's 'right of ownership' over Greenland, asserting that 'The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland.' In response, Prime Minister Støre confirmed receiving Trump's message and reiterated that he had 'clearly explained' to President Trump that the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded by an independent Nobel Committee, not the Norwegian Government. This interaction comes amidst escalating tensions where Trump has threatened to impose significant tariffs, starting at 10% and rising to 25%, on imports from European allies, including Denmark, Norway, and other NATO members, who oppose his plans for Greenland. These threats have caused considerable concern among European leaders and within NATO, as it challenges the alliance's foundational principles. Trump's interest in Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, first surfaced during his initial presidency in 2019 but was firmly rejected by both Danish and Greenlandic authorities, who maintained that the island was 'not for sale.' The renewed push in his second presidency, coupled with the Nobel Prize linkage, underscores a more aggressive foreign policy stance. The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, who subsequently gifted her medal to Trump, though the Nobel Committee clarified that the prize is not transferable.
