Trump Remains Silent on Potential Use of Force for Greenland

Donald Trump avoided directly answering a question about whether he would use force to acquire Greenland, responding with a brief 'no comment'. He reiterated that Europe should focus on the crisis in Ukraine rather than the island. Trump confirmed his intention to impose tariffs on European countries if an agreement is not reached for the US to acquire Greenland. Furthermore, he expressed his dissatisfaction with not being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, claiming that Norway controls the process. In a letter to the Norwegian Prime Minister, he linked the failure to obtain the prize to his foreign policy, threatening tariffs. Trump asserted that he has stopped eight wars and saved many lives, considering this a greater reward than the Nobel Prize.
