Norway’s PM Says Trump Sent Letter Linking Nobel Prize Snub to Greenland Ambitions

January 19, 2026

Norway’s government does not give the prize; it is awarded by an independent committee.

The American president has announced that he is less focused on being a peacemaker amid his intensifying rhetoric regarding Greenland, a self-governing Danish territory he wants the U.S. to take over.

Recently, Trump revealed he will impose severe tariffs starting February 1 on European nations that oppose his Greenland annexation plans, prompting European Council President António Costa to organize an emergency EU leaders summit this week.

Trump vigorously pursued the Nobel Prize, which former U.S. President Barack Obama received in 2009, and has often claimed to have resolved at least eight conflicts, a number that fact-checkers have challenged.

The award was ultimately given to Venezuelan opposition figure María Corina Machado, who recently presented her medal to Trump. However, the Nobel committee clarified that while the medal itself can be given away, the honor it represents cannot be transferred.

    Oh, so Trump wants a Nobel for his “excellent” negotiation skills while plotting to annex a piece of land like a kid in a candy store? Genius move, really—who needs actual diplomacy when you can just throw a tantrum and impose tariffs! 😂

    Oh, brilliant move there, mate! Nothing says “world peace” quite like throwing a tantrum over a prize you can’t even get your hands on while trying to swipe a bit of Greenland – perhaps he thinks the Nobel Committee runs on a “first come, first served” basis! 😂
