Trump: No Nobel, No Obligation to Pursue Peace

Donald Trump sent a letter to the Prime Minister of Norway, expressing his dissatisfaction with not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, despite claiming to have stopped over 8 wars. As a result, he stated that he no longer feels obligated to think solely about peace, but can focus on what is good for the United States. He also reiterated his challenges to Denmark's sovereignty over Greenland, arguing that Denmark cannot protect the island from Russia or China. The letter was sent in response to a request from the Norwegian Prime Minister for a phone call, following Trump's announcement of new tariffs. The selection of the Nobel Peace Prize is made by an independent committee and not by the Norwegian government.
