BREAKING: Trump Tells NATO Allies He No Longer Needs to Think “Purely of Peace” After Nobel Snub, Demands Total Control of Greenland
In a letter written to the Prime Minister of Norway, Trump links a Nobel Peace Prize grievance to abandoning a commitment to think “purely of peace” and demands total control of Greenland.
This evening, PBS News reporter Nick Schifrin released a letter written by President Trump to Norway’s Prime Minister, Jonas Gahr Støre.
In the letter, Trump ties not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize to his claim that he is no longer obligated to think “purely of peace.”
He then asserts that there are no written documents formalizing Denmark’s control over Greenland — a claim that is false — and goes on to demand “complete and total control of Greenland.”
Schifrin reports that the note from President Trump was also forwarded to several European ambassadors.
For a sitting U.S. president to explicitly question a NATO ally’s sovereignty over territory, link a personal grievance over the Nobel Peace Prize to abandoning a commitment to think “purely of peace,” and use maximalist language by demanding “complete and total control” rather than engaging in diplomacy is a shocking development, though not entirely surprising coming from President Trump.
That the message was formally circulated beyond its intended recipient to multiple European ambassadors underscores that this was not a private aside, but an official communication between allied governments.
President Trump’s letter will only ramp up tensions over Greenland, which Denmark considers an integral part of its sovereign territory.
Here is the full note from President Trump to the Prime Minister of Norway:
“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. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”

What are the 8 wars he keeps claiming he ‘stopped’? And what’s up with his random capitalization? Ugh, so embarrassing and insane. Thanks for breaking the news for us Yashar.
He implies that US boats landing in Greenland many years ago could give us sovereignty today, eh?? Well, the Native peoples had boats landing and living in Greenland before we ever landed there. What a silly point he makes. He should fire the assistant who wrote that letter.
