The New York Times • • general
Key Points:
- President Trump stated in a text to Norway's prime minister that his push to acquire Greenland is partly because he did not receive the Nobel Peace Prize, which he claimed was deserved for stopping eight wars.
- Trump indicated that without the Nobel Peace Prize, he feels less obligated to prioritize peace and can focus more on what benefits the United States.
- He challenged Denmark’s sovereignty over Greenland, asserting there are no written documents supporting Denmark's claim and emphasizing the need for U.S. control of the island for global security.
- The message heightened tensions surrounding Trump's controversial proposal to purchase Greenland, a territory under Danish sovereignty for over 300 years, drawing international criticism.
