In a surprising twist during international diplomatic exchanges, U.S. President Donald Trump has voiced his dissatisfaction with the Norwegian Nobel Committee's decision. According to sources, Trump conveyed his frustration directly to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, claiming he no longer felt an obligation to focus solely on peaceful initiatives due to being overlooked for the Nobel Peace Prize.

The revelation comes as Trump restates his contentious demand for control over Greenland, a strategic autonomous region of Denmark, in a letter obtained by Reuters. The insistence on acquiring the vast Arctic territory highlights ongoing geopolitical interests that have sparked both intrigue and criticism on the global stage.

Despite the boldly articulated demands, the office of the Norwegian prime minister has not yet issued any official response, leaving the international community speculating on possible diplomatic repercussions or resolutions.
