The full exchange of text messages between US President Donald Trump and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Støre has been released, shedding light on Trump’s reaction to being overlooked for the Nobel Peace Prize and his continuing interest in Greenland. The texts, which were made public under Norwegian freedom of information laws, offer a glimpse into the diplomatic dynamics between the leaders.
In the exchange, sent on January 18, 2026, Støre, acting on behalf of both himself and Finnish President Alexander Stubb, expressed a desire for further discussions on critical issues, including Greenland, Gaza, Ukraine, and a recent tariff announcement. The leaders suggested scheduling a call to de-escalate tensions on these matters.
Trump’s response, however, was notably more pointed. He expressed frustration over not being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, citing his role in ending multiple conflicts. He further criticized Denmark’s control over Greenland, suggesting that the country could not protect the territory from major powers like Russia and China. Trump also reaffirmed his belief in the necessity of the United States securing Greenland to maintain global security, arguing that NATO should support this goal.
