Recent international political developments have been tumultuous. U.S. President Trump has made two major moves that have shocked the global stage, prompting many to wonder what his true intentions are.



Let's start with the first incident. Trump sent a letter to Norway, which was quite eye-opening. In the letter, he first claimed to "love peace," then immediately followed with a condition: if you don't award me the Nobel Peace Prize, I won't guarantee to continue pursuing a peaceful approach, and will have to consider "American interests." Even more outrageous, this was a private correspondence, yet he also copied multiple foreign diplomatic agencies. The brilliance of this move lies in turning personal complaints into a global announcement. International relations experts have recognized that this is no ordinary letter; its strong language directly hints at a "quasi-declaration of war," with a subtle focus on Europe. The implied message is: if you don't cooperate, the future of U.S.-Europe relations may face turbulence. Some commentators have criticized this as turning national diplomacy into a "transaction game," trivializing serious international politics into entertainment.

Now, onto the second move—the Greenland affair. The Trump administration has begun to eye this Arctic territory with keen interest. Officially, it claims to be "protecting" Greenland, but everyone knows what they really want.

These series of actions have stirred up the international situation and also affected financial markets. Safe-haven assets like gold and silver surged to new highs. Digital assets such as Bitcoin also experienced fluctuations. The market is raising the alarm: what does rising geopolitical risk mean? It's time to reassess asset allocations.

Using the Nobel Peace Prize as a bargaining chip, this guy is really something.

Hey, really, this guy treats diplomacy like a business deal, it's absurdly ridiculous. Now, gold and Bitcoin are all starting to dance, and the market is screaming. The Greenland matter still needs to be watched; it feels like there's more to come. Basically, it's a geopolitical pawn game, betting on who blinks first. If this continues, safe-haven assets are probably going to keep soaring.

Nobel Peace Prize as a bargaining chip? That's incredible, how lacking in security must one feel haha --- Greenland wants to be "protected," hilarious, just buy a house instead --- Gold and silver are up again, I knew I should stash some safe-haven assets now, is the crypto market about to rise --- Treating diplomacy as a trading game, Europe is probably panicking now, it feels like US-Europe relations are reversing --- That piece of land in the Arctic is indeed valuable, I would want it too, but this move is truly outrageous --- The market's reaction is the most honest, asset allocation really needs adjustment, the risk signals are so obvious --- Threatening to change course just because no award was given? That’s so crazy, by the way, what is Norway thinking --- Financial markets have already sensed the smell of gunpowder, safe-haven assets are in demand again --- This move is like a scripted murder mystery, turning private messages into mass messages, a brilliant move --- The escalation of geopolitical tensions is more direct than anything else, just pour money into safe-haven assets
