A series of text exchanges between Donald Trump and European leaders about ownership of Greenland have sensationally been released.
The US president has pledged to tell European leaders at this week's forum in Davos, Switzerland, that we will have to have Greenland.
Messages released on Monday between Trump and Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Støre revealed the president no longer felt obliged to think only of peace after he was not awarded the Nobel Peace Prize last year.
On Tuesday, Trump has posted his own text exchanges with French President Emmanuel Macron and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. Here are the messages in full:
Text exchange between Trump and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Støre
Gahr Støre: Dear Mr President, dear Donald - on the contact across the Atlantic - on Greenland, Gaza, Ukraine - and your tariff announcement yesterday. You know our position on these issues. But we believe we all should work to take this down and de-escalate - so much is happening around us where we need to stand together. We are proposing a call with you later today - with both of us or separately - give us a hint of what you prefer! Best - Alex [on behalf of Finnish Prime Minister Alexander Stubb] and Jonas
Trump's response: Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace.... The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT
Message from French President Emmanuel Macron to Trump
From president Macron to President Trump My friend, we are totally in line on Syria. I can set up a G7 meeting after Davos in Paris on Thursday afternoon. I do not understand what you are doing on Greenland.
Message from NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte to Trump
Mark Rutte: Mr. President, dear Donald - what you accomplished in Syria today is incredible. I am committed to finding a way forward on Greenland. Can't wait to see you.
