Luxembourg Prime Minister Xavier Bettel added: “Russian attacks and bombings on Ukraine continue, but we can form a support committee if this conflict can be averted.”
Trump links Greenland demands to Nobel snub
Donald Trump believes he should receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his achievements in promoting world peace. Last week, it was reported that the US president connected his demands regarding Greenland with not receiving the Nobel Prize.
Trump wrote in a letter to Norway’s Prime Minister: “Considering that your country has decided not to award me the Nobel Peace Prize for preventing eight wars plus [Trump claims he prevented more than eight wars – ed.], I no longer feel obligated to think only about peace, although it will always be dominant, but I can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America.”
