Norway Rejects Trump’s Slurs Over Nobel Peace Prize Snub
Norway’s foreign minister said the Nobel Committee is independent after Trump complained he was denied the 2026 Peace Prize.
- President Donald Trump insulted Norway at a midterm election rally in Port Huron, Michigan on Sunday, referring to the nation of 5.6 million people as a "s**thouse" over his frustration with not winning the Nobel Peace Prize.
- Earlier this year, Trump told Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr he no longer felt obligated to pursue peace after the 2025 Nobel snub, tensions that intensified when Gahr joined European leaders objecting to Trump's Greenland annexation threats.
- Defending his record, Trump claimed he has "settled eight wars" while complaining South African jurist Navi Pillay won this year's award. He also praised Venezuelan opposition leader Machado as "very nice" for publicly giving him her 2025 medal.
- Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide rebuked the remarks Monday on public broadcaster NRK, reminding Trump that the Nobel Committee is "entirely independent" and operates separately from government influence.
- Trump has repeatedly complained about past winners including President Barack Obama while citing supposed successes in Russia, Ukraine, and Hamas hostage negotiations. The Nobel Committee reiterated to The New York Times its institutional independence from political pressure.
