Trump reiterated his firm intention to implement new tariffs against Denmark and other European nations, including Norway, starting February 1 if a deal for Greenland is not reached. He stated that he is “100 percent” committed to following through on these trade penalties.
The dispute has intensified following a leaked text exchange with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre. In the message, Trump appeared to link his aggressive push for Greenland to his frustration over not being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, claiming he no longer felt an “obligation to think purely of peace.” While Støre clarified that the Nobel Committee operates independently of the Norwegian government, Trump disputed this in the interview, asserting that Norway “totally controls” the award process.
