Trump’s Warning to European Allies

President Trump has communicated to European leaders, expressing that they “no longer feel obligated to think purely about peace,” particularly after not winning the Nobel Prize last year. This message comes amidst renewed discussions about the potential annexation of Greenland.

Initially directed at Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store, Trump’s message was shared with various European ambassadors in Washington, according to officials.

The content of the message stated, “Dear Jonas. Since your country opted not to award me the Nobel Peace Prize for averting multiple wars, I am no longer bound to only consider peace—though I believe peace remains important. I can now prioritize what seems best for the United States.”

He went on to question Denmark’s claim over Greenland, stating, “Denmark can’t protect that land from Russia or China, so why would they have ‘ownership’? There isn’t even formal documentation; just historical boat landings by various countries.”

Trump also made a bold claim about NATO, asserting, “I have done more for NATO than anyone else since its inception, and now NATO should reciprocate for America. The world won’t be secure unless we have full control over Greenland. Thank you! President DJT.”

Store confirmed to a Norwegian tabloid that he received the message in response to a request for a meeting involving Finnish President Alexander Stubb.

The White House has not commented on the matter.

This communication from Trump followed a threat from Copenhagen to impose 10% tariffs on several countries, including Denmark, Norway, Finland, and others, unless a full agreement for the purchase of Greenland was reached.

On a related note, Trump hosted 2025 Nobel Peace Prize recipient Maria Colina Machado at the White House for a private luncheon where she presented him with a medal.

Despite campaigning for the Nobel Prize, Trump’s second-term actions were largely missed during the January 31 nomination deadline, preventing him from claiming the award.
