- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump launched a Truth Social posting spree pressing for U.S. control of Greenland.
- In correspondence and posts, Trump invoked the Nobel matter and the Diego Garcia dispute, linking his Greenland push to outrage over not receiving a Nobel peace prize and criticizing the UK‑Mauritius agreement last year.

- Experts cautioned the episode underscores op‑sec and archival weaknesses, with HuffPost saying posts may not be illegal but raise federal archives gaps and counterintelligence concerns.
