Trump linked his shift from prioritizing peace to U.S. interests after not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize and escalated demands over Greenland and European tariffs.
- On Jan 19, U.S. President Donald Trump wrote to Norway Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre saying he no longer feels obligated to think purely of peace after not winning the Nobel Peace Prize; the letter was made public on Monday.
- Trump announced tariffs of 10%, rising to 25% in June, on goods from eight European nations including Norway and Denmark over Greenland, responding to a joint appeal from Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and Finnish President Alexander Stubb urging de-escalation.
