If I don’t receive the Nobel peace prize I will go to war?
NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”

The Speaker of Parliament, the Premier of Greenland, and the former Premier of Greenland led the protest toward the American consulate. I was greeted and thanked by them.

Statement from the Premier of Greenland.
January 6, 2026
“Yesterday, I made it very clear that in Greenland we have intensified our diplomatic and political efforts in our struggle to affirm that Greenland is our country and our territory. Our country is not something that can be annexed or taken over simply because someone wishes to do so. I am pleased that already today I can note that the relationships we have built over the past year, and our increased diplomatic efforts in recent times, are of great significance.
The French President, the German Federal Chancellor, the Italian Prime Minister, the Polish Prime Minister, the Spanish Prime Minister, the British Prime Minister, and the Danish Prime Minister have today issued a joint statement that unequivocally supports us in Greenland and our shared territorial integrity. This support is important at a time when fundamental international principles are being challenged. For this support, I wish to express my deepest gratitude.
At a time when the President of the United States has once again stated that the United States is very serious about Greenland, this support from our allies in NATO is both important and unequivocal.
I once again call on the United States to seek a respectful dialogue through the appropriate diplomatic and political channels, and through the use of existing forums based on agreements that already exist with the United States. Such dialogue must take place with respect for the fact that Greenland’s status is grounded in international law and the principle of territorial integrity.
In this context, the support from our European allies in NATO means a great deal. It is a clear signal that territorial integrity, sovereignty, and international rules continue to apply and are respected.”

As legislators representing Greenland in Denmark and the United States, we see a better path forward. The future will be defined by partnership, not ownership. To ensure our alliance reaches its full potential, Americans must view Greenland as an ally, not an asset.
