Trump links Greenland threats to Nobel snub as Europe eyes tariff retaliation
President Donald Trump warned Europe that he no longer feels “the obligation to think purely of peace,” linking his hostile campaign to seize Greenland to his failure to win the Nobel Peace Prize, Norway’s leader has said. The message was the latest move in the spiraling transatlantic tensions between the United States and Europe, which vowed Monday not to be blackmailed by Trump’s intensifying pressure to take over the Danish territory. As European powers scrambled to respond to Trump’s promise to implement tariffs on countries that stand in his way, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre went public with the president’s warning. “Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America,” Trump said in the message, the text of which was first reported by PBS and confirmed as accurate in a statement by the Norwegian leader. The White House did not immediately respond to an overnight request for comment from NBC News. European governments weighed a strong response to their postwar friend in Washington ahead of an emergency summit in Brussels on Thursday. “Germany and France agree: We will not allow ourselves to be blackmailed,” German Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil said. “Blackmail between allies of 250 years, blackmail between friends, is obviously unacceptable,” French Finance Minister Roland Lescure said at the same event. “We Europeans must make it clear: The limit has been reached,” Klingbeil said. In the short term, European governments are considering a range of options including their own tariffs. Another is the European Union’s “bazooka” — officially known as the Anti-Coercion Instrument, which has never been used before. This allows E.U. countries to take retaliatory action against any rivals seen as threatening the bloc, and could involve restricting American access to tenders or investment proposals. Some geopolitical and historical experts believe Trump’s pursuit of Greenland has now become the lowest ebb of transatlantic relations since the Suez Crisis of 1956, when the U.S. pressured Britain, France and Israel to withdraw from their invasion of Egypt. It was against this backdrop that Trump’s message to the Norwegian leader was made public. “I can confirm that this is a text message that I received yesterday afternoon from President Trump,” the Norwegian leader said. He said it came in response to an initial communication from himself and Finnish President Alexander Stubb, in which they conveyed their “opposition to his announced tariff increases.” Støre also pointed out that — regardless of its merits — this backlash was misdirected, as the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded by the Norwegian Nobel Committee, and not the Norwegian government. Trump has made no secret of his desire to become a Nobel laureate, or of his displeasure when it was instead awarded to the Venezuelan opposition activist María Corina Machado last month. Machado presented Trump with the award last week, after he left her out of his plans for Venezuela following the capture of President Nicolás Maduro. The Norwegian Nobel Committee said that the coveted prize cannot “even symbolically, be passed on or further distributed.” Trump says that he wants Greenland to counter what he calls a growing threat from Russia and China. The U.S. already has huge leeway to establish military bases on the Arctic island or strike deals to mine its vast mineral resources. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent defended Trump’s moves, telling NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday that the president was using “the economic might of the U.S. to avoid a hot war.” He said the goal was to avoid a future “national emergency.” Trump said late Sunday that “Denmark has been unable to do anything about”…

Box-office week-end : La Femme de ménage détrône Avatar
À la faveur d’une meilleure dynamique, le thriller de Paul Feig met fin au règne du blockbuster de James Cameron. D’une courte tête, La Femme de ménage prend les commandes du box-office français, achevant un quatrième week-end de haute facture (453 000 entrées, -19 %), avec une belle moyenne de 41 entrées par séance (e/s). Le thriller psychologique totalise près de 3,4 millions (M) de billets et dépasse les résultats des quatre films de la saga Hunger Games pour se hisser au 6e rang des plus gros succès de l’histoire de son distributeur Metropolitan, derrière la trilogie du Seigneur des anneaux, Le Pacte des loups et Seven. Parmi les titres sortis en 2025, La Femme de ménage s’apprête à doubler F1 (3,37 M). Après cinq week-ends au sommet, Avatar : De feu et de cendres rend sa couronne, même avec un dimanche sur une meilleure dynamique que le précédent (-28 % de fréquentation contre -57 %), fort de 33 spectateurs en moyenne par séance. Mais avec 7,8 M d’entrées au compteur, le troisième volet de la franchise na’vi semble avoir dit définitivement adieu au cap des 10 M de tickets, dépassé à ce stade par les deux premiers opus (11,3 M pour La Voie de l’eau et plus de 10 M pour Avatar). Une déception malgré les bons retours du public comme en témoigne la solide note spectateurs de 4,1/5 sur AlloCiné. L’Affaire Bojarski captive : près de 300 000 curieux réunis, soit une moyenne de 35 e/s et quelque 307 000 en incluant les avant-premières (AP). Le drame de Jean-Paul Salomé démarre bien au-dessus de son précédent film, La Syndicaliste (143 000 entrées, 21 e/s, 500 000 au final). Dans le registre historique, c’est également supérieur à Adieu monsieur Haffmann de Fred Cavayé (202 000 tickets, 23 e/s, 746 000 au final) et Couleurs de l’incendie de Clovis Cornillac (230 000 billets, 26 e/s, 740 000 cumulés). Plusieurs autres nouveautés intègrent ce top 20, à commencer par Greenland : Migration qui galvanise 89 000 aventuriers pour 14 e/s en moyenne. À l’été 2020, le précédent volet Greenland : Le Dernier refuge embarquait 147 000 curieux (22 e/s) pour un cumul final de 570 000 entrées, tandis qu’en mars 2023, 65 – La Terre d’avant vendait 135 000 billets (21 e/s) et atteignait la barre des 300 000 au final. 28 ans plus tard : Le Temple des morts captive 86 000 fans soit une moyenne de 16 e/s. Le thriller horrifique de Nia DaCosta séduit moins que 28 ans plus tard, qui écoulait 140 000 tickets soit 19 par projection à sa sortie en juin 2025 (plus de 530 000 entrées au final). C’est également inférieur à Until Dawn : La Mort sans fin (127 000 billets, 26 e/s, 455 000 cumulés). Furcy, né libre d’Abd Al Malik enregistre 66 000 entrées (13 e/s) et plus de 100 000 avec AP. Un lancement légèrement inférieur à celui réalisé par Ni chaînes ni maîtres de Simon Moutairou (89 000 tickets, 16 e/s, 430 000 au final). Eleonora Duse de Pietro Marcello (22 000 billets, 15 e/s) démarre dans la lignée de Le Molière imaginaire d’Olivier Py (22 000 entrées, 15 e/s, 68 000 au final). Parmi les films en continuation, Zootopie 2 tient bien (-15 %) et se rapproche des 8 M d’entrées. L’animation de Disney conserve sa légère avance sur Vaiana 2 (7,76 M au même stade) et Vice-Versa 2 (7,7 M). Belle tenue aussi pour Le Chant des forêts (-17 %) qui file vers le million d’entrées. Father, Mother, Sister, Brother marque le pas (-46 %) mais franchit la barre des 200 000 billets et devient le plus gros succès du distributeur Les Films du Losange depuis Miséricorde à l’automne 2024 (225 000 tickets). Au total, le top 10 des films cumule près de 1,9 M d’entrées et continue d’afficher une forme olympique par rapport au week-end équivalent des années précédentes : +54 % vs 2025, +98 % vs 2024, +13 % vs 2023, +91 % vs 2022. De bonne augure alors que l’offre de films va se renforcer dans les prochaines semaines pour aborder les vacances scolaires sous ses meilleurs atouts. Entrées réalisées du 14 au 18 janvier 2026 : Sources chiffres : Distributeurs | Séances : Showtimes…
