Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre has spoken at length for the first time about his heated exchange with President Donald Trump in January.
It began last month, after a text message from Støre suggested that the pair talk to find a solution to Trump’s repeated threats to seize Greenland by force. Støre proposed to Trump that they “de-escalate,” telling him that “so much is happening around us where we need to stand together.”
The president rejected his appeal, replying hours later with an inflammatory message that read, “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.”
