This is The Guardian Today, why Donald Trump really wants Greenland?
Even by Trump's standards,
the letter he fired off to the Norwegian Prime Minister over the weekend was something else.
Right, so here's the letter from President Trump to the Prime Minister of Norway, dear Jonas.
Considering your country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize
for having stopped eight wars plus,
be it all caps plus, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of peace.
Never mind that the Norwegian government doesn't actually award the peace prize,
and let's not get into those eight wars.
Trump was on a roll.
And he had another bone to pick with the Norwegians,
who had joined the chorus of European countries opposing his ambitions to take over Greenland.
Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China.
I think it means Greenland.
And why do they have a, quote, right of ownership?
Anyway, there are no written documents.
It's only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago.
But we had boats landing there also.
For Tom Burgess, an investigation's correspondent to The Guardian,
This missive fits the Trump playbook perfectly.
