I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace
The promise
Trump sent Norway's prime minister a message linking his failure to receive the Nobel Peace Prize to his approach to international affairs. He said peace would remain predominant but that he could now focus on what he considered appropriate for the United States. The message also argued for complete American control of Greenland. Supporters could interpret it as a forceful statement that national interests should guide policy regardless of international recognition. Critics objected to linking territorial demands with a personal award grievance and noted that Norway's government does not award the prize. The Norwegian government confirmed that the message was received on January 18, although the exchange became public the following day.
