Donald Trump Cites Nobel Peace Prize Snub In Letter Explaining Push To Acquire Greenland
HuffPost
"I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace," the president wrote in an extraordinary message to the Norwegian prime minister.
President Donald Trump appears to still be upset that the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize went to someone other than him, now suggesting that the snub was somehow linked to his push to acquire Greenland, the Danish semi-autonomous territory.
In an extraordinary letter to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, first reported by PBS NewsHour, Trump said he no longer feels constrained by “an obligation” to consider peace, adding that he is primarily focused on advancing U.S. interests.
“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,” Trump wrote in a letter to Støre, according to Bloomberg and PBS NewsHour. “Although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America.”
The Nobel committee’s five members are appointed by Norway’s parliament, and the country’s government is not involved in the selection of the laureates.
In a statement, Støre said Trump’s message came shortly after he and Finnish President Alexander Stubb reached out to the U.S. president to express their opposition to Trump’s threat to impose new tariffs on Finland, Norway and other countries starting Feb. 1 over their objection to his goal to acquire Greenland.
