Trump’s letter to Norway, lamenting no Nobel Peace Prize, is suspected to be linked to Greenland

On January 19, 2026 (local time), President of the United Sates Donald Trump sent the letter to the Prime Minister of Norway Jonas Gahr Støre mentioned that since Nobel committee not considering him as the Nobel laureate, even he stopped 8 wars plus, he no longer “feel an obligation to think purely of Peace.” Analysts believe that this is the strategies to pressure Europe towards Greenland dispute.

Trump stated in a letter sent to Mr. Støre that,“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.” 

In addition, he criticized Denmark, saying that if it has so far been unable to deal with the influence of China and Russia encroaching on Greenland, how could it be capable of owning it? He emphasized that the United States’ acquisition of Greenland would bring global security.

Subsequently, Mr. Støre responded to the letter, pointing out that the authority to decide on the Nobel Prize lies independently with the Nobel Committee, not with the country of Norway.

On the Danish side, Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen responded by saying, “We are in the year 2026. We can have contact and exchanges between people, but we cannot have contact to exchange people.”

Meanwhile, on the Greenland side, Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen posted on his personal Facebook page, stating that Greenland should be the one to decide its own destiny, and that he would not allow any pressure to affect the future of Finland, while adhering firmly to the principles of international law.
