THE GUARDIAN: US president says he no longer feels the need to think ‘purely of peace’ in letter to Norwegian prime minister
Donald Trump has linked his repeated threats to seize control of Greenland to the fact that he has not been awarded the Nobel peace prize in an extraordinary letter sent to the Norwegian prime minister, Jonas Gahr Støre.
The US president said in the letter – the authenticity of which was confirmed by Støre to the Norwegian newspaper VG on Monday – that after failing to win the prize, he no longer felt the need to think “purely of peace”.
“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,” he said, adding he could now “think about what is good and proper” for the US.
Støre told VG that the letter had “come in response to a short message to President Trump from me earlier in the day, on behalf of myself and the President of Finland, Alexander Stubb”. » | Jon Henley, Europe correspondent | Monday, January 19, 2026
