“Dear Jonas: Since your country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for stopping 8 wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of peace<\/strong>, although it will always be dominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States<\/strong>,” the US President wrote.<\/p>\n Such is an example of kind of over the top and trolling-style rhetoric in the letter which has given people pause, questioning its authenticity.<\/p>\n “Denmark cannot protect this land from Russia or China\u2026 The world is not secure unless we have complete and total control of Greenland<\/strong>,” he added.<\/p>\n As for whether Trump indeed wrote it, and concerning the bombastic letter’s authenticity, Forbes<\/em> has noted that “According to<\/a> PBS Newshour\u2019s Nick Schifrin, who first reported on the matter, the letter has been forwarded by the National Security Council staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington.”<\/p>\n The President also in the letter takes the opportunity to bash Denmark, saying it cannot protect Greenland from Russia or China, and again questioned its legal rights to Greenland: “There are no written documents; it\u2019s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also.”<\/p>\n The message in full, as first reported by a PBS correspondent:<\/em><\/p>\n Norway’s PM Store has since explained that letter came in response to a joint message he had earlier sent to Trump together with Finnish President Alexander Stubb, rejecting White House plans to impose higher tariffs<\/strong> on Scandinavian countries. Other leading EU countries have also complained and are pushing back publicly:<\/p>\n MERZ: GERMANY, EU ALLIES DETERMINED TO AVOID TARIFF ESCALATION<\/p><\/blockquote>\n “We pointed out the need to de-escalate the exchange and requested a phone call between President Trump, President Stubb and myself,” Store said, and reiterated Norway’s stance on Greenland is unchanged.<\/p>\n
