U.S. President Donald Trump has linked his aggressive stance on Greenland to last year’s decision not to award him the Nobel Peace Prize, telling Norway’s prime minister that he no longer feels “an obligation to think purely of Peace." That's according text messages released by Norway.

But British Prime Minister Keir Starmer sought to de-escalate tensions on Monday.
