Norway PM Rebukes Trump over ‘No Longer Obliged’ Message Post Nobel Snub, Says Happy to Repeat That…

On Tuesday, Jonas Gahr Store, Prime Minister of Norway, said the Norwegian government has no authority over Nobel laureates after receiving a text from President Donald Trump yesterday afternoon.
After Norway and Finland warned about U.S. tariff threats, Jonas Gahr Store said they pushed to de-escalate and proposed a same-day phone call with Donald Trump and Alexander Stubb.
The letter shifted focus to Greenland, saying President Donald Trump questioned Denmark's legal claim and argued Denmark cannot protect Greenland from Russia or China.
Store said the exchange has shifted alliance politics, noting Norway's failure to award President Donald Trump the Nobel Prize altered his approach and Norway's government position on Greenland urges reliance on NATO, with an attack triggering a NATO-wide response.
With the letter made public this week, experts note President Donald Trump's claims of stopping eight wars are disputed, and analysts say there is no current China or Russia threat, though tensions have risen.
