Trump linked his Nobel Peace Prize snub to his Greenland acquisition push and tariff threats against eight European countries, escalating diplomatic tensions over the territory's sovereignty.
- On Jan 19, President Donald Trump sent a message to Norway's prime minister linking his Nobel Peace Prize snub to Greenland, calling for 'complete and total control of Greenland' and saying he no longer felt obliged to 'think purely of Peace.'

- Beyond the note, the Norwegian Nobel Committee said the prize cannot be transferred, María Corina Machado gave her medal to Trump last week, and Denmark and Greenland leaders insist the island is not for sale while NATO and allied defence officials plan meetings.
