""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 said in the message. "The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland," Trump added."
""Norway's position on Greenland is clear. Greenland is a part of the Kingdom of Denmark, and Norway fully supports the Kingdom of Denmark on this matter," Gahr Stre said. "We also support that NATO in a responsible way is taking steps to strengthen security and stability in the Arctic.""
""Gahr Stre also pointed out that while President Trump claimed that Norway "decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize," the government of Norway is not responsible for the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize. The Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded by a five member Norwegian Nobel Committee since 1901. The Peace Prize, which was last awarded to Venezuela's opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, is also awarded for the previous year.""
President Trump linked failure to win the Nobel Peace Prize to a change in priorities, saying he no longer feels obliged to think purely of peace and can now prioritize what he views as good for the United States. He asserted that the world is not secure unless the United States has complete control of Greenland. Norway reiterated that Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark and affirmed support for Denmark's position. Norway urged NATO to strengthen Arctic security, warned against escalation over tariffs, and clarified that the Norwegian government does not award the Nobel Peace Prize; a five-member Norwegian Nobel Committee makes that decision.
