Donald Trump texts with Norway PM Jonas Gahr Støre link Greenland to Nobel Prize | BBC News


US President Donald Trump messaged Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre saying not being given the Nobel Peace Prize means he no longer has "an obligation to think purely of peace".

Trump said he will "100%" follow through on his threats to impose further tariffs if a deal over Greenland is not reached and added "no comment" when asked whether he would use force to seize the island.

Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said "we will not let ourselves be pressured", having previously said: "The latest statements from the US, including threats of tariffs, do not change that line".

UK PM Keir Starmer has called Trump’s plan to impose tariffs on eight countries "completely wrong", while also seeming to downplay retaliatory tariffs.
