Trump's Controversial Greenland Ambitions Revealed in Leaked Messages with European Leaders
A series of text exchanges between Donald Trump and European leaders about ownership of Greenland have sensationally been released.
In these communications, the U.S. president strongly stated his intent to 'have' Greenland, expressing that Denmark cannot adequately protect the territory from Russia or China. Trump's messages reflect a newfound assertiveness following his disappointment at not being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize last year.
On January 18th, Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Støre reached out to Trump, proposing calls to address pressing global issues, including Greenland. Trump's response was stark, stating, Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace. He continued by questioning Denmark's historical claim to Greenland, arguing that the true ownership was unclear.
Following these exchanges, Trump shared communications from other leaders including French President Emmanuel Macron and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, who appeared perplexed by Trump's Greenland ambitions. Macron reached out to highlight potential collaborations on various issues while expressing confusion on Trump's stance regarding Greenland.
As these messages unfold, they offer a dramatic insight into Trump's foreign policy approach and his interactions with European leaders, especially as tensions regarding national sovereignty and international relations intensify.
