Norway Pushes Back After Trump Disparages It Over Nobel Prize Decision

Norwegian officials pushed back after President Trump disparaged the country following the Norwegian Nobel Committee’s decision to award the 2026 Peace Prize. Trump made the remarks at a campaign rally in Port Huron, Michigan, two weeks after the prize was granted in Oslo to Navi Pillay, a South African human rights lawyer. Norwegian authorities stressed that their country does not influence who receives the Peace Prize. Trump, who has openly campaigned for the Nobel Peace Prize, used vulgar language when expressing frustration, and suggested the U.S. should accept fewer Norwegian immigrants, adding that he “didn’t get the Nobel Prize” and wants “nothing to do with Norway.”
