Former President Donald Trump is back in the spotlight with a fiery and unapologetic push for U.S. control over Greenland, ramping up pressure on NATO allies and refusing to rule out military action if diplomacy falls short.
In a blunt message to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Støre, obtained by PBS, Trump took a jab at Norway over the Nobel Peace Prize snub, writing, âConsidering 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.â He added that his focus would now shift to âwhat is good and proper for the United States of America.â
Trumpâs frustrations with the Norwegian-led Nobel Committee, which awarded last yearâs prize to Venezuelan opposition leader MarĂa Corina Machado, have boiled overâdespite Machado personally gifting the award to Trump during a recent visit to the White House. The former president used that moment to further assert his role in ending global conflicts and promoting U.S. strength.
The bigger headline, however, is Trumpâs revived campaign for Greenland. In a statement obtained by The Daily Wire, White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly confirmed the administrationâs national security interest in the territory, noting that âGreenlanders would be better served if protected by the United States from modern threats in the Arctic region.â
Trumpâs letter to Støre went even further. âDenmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China,â he argued. âWhy do they have a âright of ownershipâ anyway? There are no written documents⌠but we had boats landing there, also.â He insisted that âthe World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland.â
On Truth Social, Trump claimed NATO had urged Denmark for two decades to secure Greenland from Russian influence, declaring, âNow it is time, and it will be done!!!â
Earlier this month, the White House stirred controversy by not ruling out military force as a means to take over Greenland. Talks between U.S. officials and Denmarkâs and Greenlandâs foreign ministers yielded little progress, with Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen confirming a âfundamental disagreementâ remains.
Trump is now taking aim at NATO holdouts. On Saturday, he announced plans to slap a 10% tariff on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the U.K., the Netherlands, and Finlandâpunishing allies for opposing what he sees as a necessary move to secure the Arctic.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent echoed the urgency, saying on NBCâs Meet the Press, âThe fight for the Arctic is real⌠Make it part of the United States, and there will not be a conflict.â
Trumpâs message is clear: America comes first, Greenland is in play, and if Europe wonât actâhe will.
