On January 19, 2026, US President Donald Trump accused Norwegian Nobel selectors of snubbing his obvious peace prowess, all while ramping up his ongoing Greenland real estate ambitions. Meanwhile, UK Labour leader Keir Starmer tried to channel diplomatic zen by praising Trump's 'role' in the Ukraine ceasefire push, then quickly reminded everyone trade wars are inconvenient at cocktail parties. Highlighting the irony, Starmer vowed to work with the US, Ukraine, and allies to âplace pressure on Putinââa shrewd way of saying âweâll pretend we all agreeâ as Trump eyes icy land deals and Nobel regret simultaneously.
