Trump tells Norway he no longer feels obligation to think only of peace [View all]
U.S. President Donald Trump in a written message to Norway's prime minister said he no longer feels obligated "to think purely of Peace" because he had not been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, and he repeated his demand for control of Greenland.
The note, shared widely with other nations by the U.S. administration, was in response to a brief message to Trump from Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere and Finnish President Alexander Stubb opposing his decision to impose tariffs on European allies over their refusal to let the U.S. take control of Greenland, Stoere said in a statement.
In their message, Stoere and Stubb pointed to the need to de-escalate the rhetoric and requested a phone call with Trump, the Norwegian premier's statement said. Trump's response came only a short time after they had sent their message.
TRUMP SAYS HE'LL FOCUS ON WHAT'S RIGHT FOR U.S.
"Dear Jonas: 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," Trump wrote in his response, which was seen by Reuters.
