Donald Trump gets angry at Norway’s PM. (Credit- Reuters)Donald Trump Nobel Controversy: Donald Trump is not only thinking about Iran and Greenland, in a corner of his heart the pain of not getting the Nobel Peace Prize remains. When he once again cornered the Norwegian PM regarding this, Jonas Gahr Storey clearly said that the Nobel Peace Prize is not given by the Norwegian government but there is an independent committee for it. He has no interference in who the committee is selecting for this award.
Norway’s PM Storey had to make this statement at a time when Trump had commented linking his efforts to take American control over Greenland to the Nobel Peace Prize. Prime Minister Storey said in a statement that he had received a text message from Trump a day earlier. This message was in response to a joint message sent by Storey and Finland’s President Alexander Stubb. In this message, Nordic leaders protested against the proposed US tariff increase on Norway, Finland and other countries.
First did not get Nobel, then protest over Greenland
Norway’s PM Storey said that he and President Stubb had also proposed a phone conversation with Trump on the same day. Shortly after this, Trump sent a reply, which the US President later voluntarily shared with other NATO leaders. Clarifying Norway’s stand, Storey said that Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark and Norway stands completely with Denmark on this issue. He also said that Norway supports NATO’s efforts to strengthen security and stability in the Arctic region, but all this must be done with responsibility and balance.
‘I will take Greenland completely, why should I think about peace?’
The message that Trump sent to the Norwegian PM said that he is no longer bound by peace and wants ‘complete control over Greenland’. Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Storey confirmed on Monday that he had received a message from US President Donald Trump, in which he said that after not receiving the Nobel Prize, he no longer feels the need to think about peace. Now, while replying to this, he has said bluntly – ‘Regarding the Nobel Peace Prize, I have told President Trump what is well known. This award is given by an independent Nobel Committee, and not by the Norwegian government.
Why did the topic come up on Nobel Prize?
In fact, when America conducted operations in Venezuela, the opposition leader Machado came along with them in return. Since Machado is the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize this time, she dedicated her award to Donald Trump. Donald Trump’s anger flared up once again as soon as he received the medal. As soon as Norway spoke on the issue of Greenland, Trump overheard them on the issue of Nobel Prize. First he placed Norway in the list of tariff countries and then by writing a letter mentioning Nobel, he also reminded him of his old pain.
