The Nobel Peace Prize is handled by a Norwegian Nobel Committee who have accused Trump of blackmail
Throwing a bit more light on Trump’s unusual letter stating how he’s no longer “purely” interested in peace, Jonas Gahr Støre, the Norwegian Prime Minister (Jonas Store), said the message came shortly after he and Finland’s Alexander Stubb sent a letter opposing the proposed tariffs on some European countries.
“We pointed out the need to de-escalate the exchange of words and requested a phone call between Trump, Stubb and me during the day,” he told VG newspaper.
But he noted that “the response from Trump came only shortly after we had sent the message,” and Trump then decided to share the letter with other Nato countries’ representatives, too.
Støre also reiterated his support for Denmark and Greenland, and stressed that the state of Norway has nothing to do with the Nobel Peace Prize award-giving process.
Separately, numerous experts that the Norwegian paper spoke with called the letter a blatant attempt to “blackmail” Europe, with one particularly amused commentator telling VG that “the stupidity is so great that you hardly know where to begin.”
