Caption: Trump Tells Norway He No Longer Feels Bound to “Think Purely of Peace”. U.S. President Donald Trump has told Norway’s prime minister that he no longer feels obligated to “think purely of Peace,” citing his failure to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. The remarks were contained in a letter responding to concerns raised by Jonas Gahr Støre and Finland’s president over U.S. tariffs linked to opposition against American control of Greenland. Trump wrote that because his country did not receive the Nobel Peace Prize for what he claims were efforts to stop multiple wars, he now prioritises what he believes is best for the United States. Støre said he reiterated that the Norwegian Nobel Committee operates independently and that Norway’s government has no influence over the prize. Trump has long lobbied publicly for the award, which was last year given to Maria Corina Machado, who recently presented Trump with her medal during a White House visit. In the same letter, Trump again questioned Denmark’s sovereignty over Greenland, arguing it cannot adequately defend the territory from Russia or China. He claimed the world would not be secure without “complete and total control” of Greenland, a mineral-rich Arctic island governed autonomously within the Kingdom of Denmark. The comments have renewed diplomatic tension between the United States and its European allies over security, sovereignty and trade.
