US President Donald Trump told Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store that he is no longer 'obligated to work only for peace' after he was not awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. In a post published on Monday, Trump wrote to Jonas Gahr Store: 'Since your country decided not to award me the Nobel Peace Prize even though I stopped more than eight wars, I no longer feel obligated to work only for peace.' He added that while peace will remain 'prevalent,' he can now 'think about what is good and appropriate for the United States.' Store responded that his country's government does not award the Nobel Prize. He said: 'I have clearly explained, including to President Trump, that the prize is awarded by an independent committee.' Trump reaffirmed his desire to control Greenland, a stance that has caused concern worldwide. He said: 'Denmark cannot protect this land from Russia or China.' He added: 'Why do they even have the right to own it? There are no written documents, the only thing is that a ship docked there hundreds of years ago, but we also had ships that docked there.' In his post addressed to Jonas Gahr Store, Trump continued: 'The world will not be safe unless we have full control of Greenland.' After Trump had hoped to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, considering that he had stopped eight wars, the prize was awarded to the Venezuelan opposition represented by Maria Corina Machado. Last week, Machado said that she 'presented' the medal of the prize to Trump.
