Donald Trump questioned Danish sovereignty over Greenland, saying: 'Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a 'right of ownership' anyway?'

US president Donald Trump has told Norway's prime minister in a letter that he no longer feels obligated "to think purely of peace" because he had not been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, and he repeated his demand for control of Greenland.

The letter, seen by Reuters, came in response to a brief message to Mr Trump from Norway's prime minister Jonas Gahr Stoere and Finnish president Alexander Stubb opposing his decision to impose tariffs on European allies over their refusal to let the US take control of Greenland, Stoere said in a statement.
