U.S. President Donald Trump sent a message to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre between 12:17 p.m. and 12:46 p.m. UTC on January 19, 2026, stating he no longer feels an "obligation to think purely of peace" due to not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize and declaring it is time for NATO to relinquish full control of Greenland to the U.S., according to PBS as reported by BNODesk on X. The message builds on Trump's earlier letter to Støre, confirmed authentic at 8:46 a.m. UTC, demanding U.S. control of Greenland linked to the Nobel denial, as reported by VG, and his recent White House X post over the prior hour declaring it time to address the Russian threat there. This development follows Croatian Government statements affirming NATO allies must respect Denmark's sovereignty over Greenland and Norway's invitation to Trump's "peace council" for Gaza alongside Russia, both noted in the previous reporting period ending at 12:16 p.m. UTC.
