• Trump told Norway's PM he feels no obligation to focus on peace after not winning the Nobel Peace Prize.
• He reiterates the need for "Complete and Total Control" over Greenland, raising security concerns.
• The message follows tension over potential tariffs on European allies opposing his Greenland claims.

US President Donald Trump informed Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store that he no longer feels compelled to "think purely of peace" after being overlooked for the Nobel Peace Prize. He firmly stated, "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," signaling a shift in his diplomatic focus towards US interests, particularly regarding Greenland, which he described as being crucial for national security, according to SCMP, Channel News Asia, and India Times.

In his message, Trump reiterated his longstanding belief that Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark, should be under US control due to its strategic importance, stating, "Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China," raising eyebrows among international allies about his brusque assessment of Danish sovereignty. He questioned their historical claim to Greenland, claiming no valid documents prove ownership, as reported by India Times and India Times.

Trump’s remarks have prompted significant backlash, with European allies expressing alarm at potential tariffs he threatened to impose if they oppose his Greenland ambitions. Trump warned that tariffs on eight NATO partners would initially be 10 percent, potentially rising to 25 percent, which officials in Germany and France denounced as "blackmail." This move has intensified concerns over transatlantic relations, according to Channel News Asia and India Times.

Norwegian PM Store emphasized that the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded by an independent committee, distancing Norway's government from Trump's grievances. In response, Trump claimed that he has done more for NATO than anyone else, demanding reciprocity in terms of support for US claims, as per India Times and SCMP.
