Donald Trump lashes out at Norway after missing out on Nobel Peace Prize

Donald Trump called Norway a shithole country after failing to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, an honor the Norwegian committee awarded to South African jurist Navanethem Pillay, according to the outlet El Conurbano, which reported it on October 26, 2026.

During a rally in Port Huron, Michigan, according to the same outlet, the US president justified his rejection of Norwegian immigrants and said he did not want to have any relationship with the European country. Trump said his anger stemmed from being excluded from the award despite his alleged international achievements, which he cited as having saved 30 million lives through mediation in geopolitical conflicts.

The Nobel Peace Prize is an international award granted by an independent Norwegian committee to individuals or organizations that have worked to promote harmony among nations. The choice of this year's laureate drew public criticism from the US president toward the organizing committee.
