President Trump recently expressed his interest in U.S. control of Greenland, citing his dissatisfaction with not winning the Nobel Peace Prize and his shift in focus towards U.S. interests over global peace.
In a message to Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, Trump voiced his disappointment in not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize and indicated a change in his priorities.
Trump’s message to Gahr Støre highlighted his belief that U.S. control of Greenland is essential for global security, a sentiment that has sparked tensions between the United States and European countries.
