Diplomatic Row Over Greenland Escalates: Trump Sends Letter to Norway Amid Protests

The international dispute surrounding Greenland is escalating, with Donald Trump increasing pressure on European countries, including Norway, to support US claims. Trump expressed his disappointment with Norway for not awarding him the Nobel Peace Prize, linking his desire to acquire Greenland to US strategic security. Residents of Greenland have responded with mass protests, with approximately 5,000 people gathering in the capital to express their opposition to the potential sale of their country. The European Union is attempting to maintain a unified stance against US pressure, with a summit scheduled to discuss the issue.
