President Trump reportedly told Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store in a text message that his pursuit of acquiring Greenland is partly due to not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. According to the message, Trump feels less obligated to prioritize peace and can focus on American interests. He also questioned Denmark's claim to Greenland, asserting the world's security depends on U.S. control of the island. This message was sent in response to Store's request to discuss the Greenland crisis and Trump's threats of tariffs against Denmark. Store clarified that the Norwegian government does not control the Nobel Peace Prize selection. Despite Trump's claims, Greenland has been part of the Danish Kingdom for over 300 years, a fact acknowledged in past agreements between the U.S. and Denmark.
