Trump Ties Greenland Stance To Not Getting Peace Prize

(AP) – U.S. Donald Trump has linked his aggressive stance on Greenland to last year’s decision not to award him the Nobel Peace Prize, telling Norway’s prime minister that he no longer feels “an obligation to think purely of Peace.” That’s according to two European officials who were not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. Trump’s message to Jonas Gahr Støre appears to ratchet up a standoff between Washington and its closest allies over his threats to take over Greenland. But British Prime Minister Keir Starmer sought to de-escalate tensions on Monday.
