A series of text exchanges between Donald Trump and European leaders about ownership of Greenland have sensationally been released. The US president has pledged to tell European leaders at this week's forum in Davos, Switzerland, that "we will have to have" Greenland. Messages released on Monday between Trump and Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Støre revealed the president no longer felt obliged to think only of peace after he was not awarded the Nobel Peace Prize last year. On Tuesday, Trump has posted his own text exchanges with French President Emmanuel Macron and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. Here are the messages in full:Released by the office of Støre following a freedom of information request by the BBC), 18 January at 15:48 (14:48 GMT)Gahr Støre: Dear Mr President, dear Donald - on the contact across the Atlantic - on Greenland, Gaza, Ukraine - and your tariff announcement yesterday. You know our position on these issues. But we believe we all should work to take this down and de-escalate - so much is happening around us where we need to stand together. We are proposing a call with you later today - with both of us or separately - give us a hint of what you prefer! Best - Alex [on behalf of Finnish Prime Minister Alexander Stubb] and JonasTrump's response, 18 January 16:15 (15:15 GMT): Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a "right of ownership" anyway? There are no written documents, it's only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJTFrom president Macron to President TrumpMy friend, We are totally in line on SyriaWe can do great things on Iran I do not understand what you are doing on GreenlandLet us try to build great things : 1) I can set up a G7 meeting after Davos in Paris on Thursday afternoon. I can invite the Ukrainians, the Danish, the Syrians and the Russians in the margins 2) Let us have a dinner together in Paris together on Thursday before you go back to the USEmmanuelMr. President, dear Donald - what you accomplished in Syria today is incredible. I will use my media engagements in Davos to highlight your work there, in Gaza, and in Ukraine. I am committed to finding a way forward on Greenland. Can't wait to see you. Yours, Mark
