Trump says Norway ‘sucks’ after Nobel loss
Trump said Norway “sucks” and called the Nobel Committee’s choice a stain after the prize went to Navi Pillay, a South African human rights lawyer.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump attacked Norway at a Port Huron, Michigan rally, calling it a "shit house country" and declaring Norwegian immigrants unwelcome because the Nobel Committee denied him the Peace Prize.
- Trump, who has claimed credit for "stopping eight wars," expressed long-standing frustration after the committee awarded the 2026 prize to former UN human rights chief Navi Pillay earlier this month.
- These comments align with a recurring pattern; Trump previously applied similar derogatory labels to Haiti, Libya, Somalia, and Yemen while questioning why the United States accepts immigrants from those nations.
- Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide responded on Monday, stating the Nobel Committee operates independently and that Trump is fully aware of this structure despite his public complaints.
- Despite the rhetoric, no official immigration policy changes regarding Norway were announced, and the independent five-member committee remains solely responsible for laureate selection per Norway's parliamentary process.
