President Donald Trump told Norway's prime minister he felt snubbed for the Nobel Peace Prize. He tied that grievance to his effort to acquire Greenland, saying Norway's decision changed how he thinks about peace. The exchange underscores how Trump mixes personal recognition with foreign policy decisions. This matters because politicizing the Nobel could strain US and Norway relations and set a precedent for linking diplomacy to personal awards.
