Trump says US should prioritize migrants from Norway, Sweden over conflict-hit nations

Trump again questioned the Nobel decision and attacked Norway, while accepting a separate award from supporters and a medal from 2025 laureate María Corina Machado.

  • On Sunday, President Donald Trump attacked Norway during a Michigan campaign rally, declaring the Scandinavian nation "s---house" while renewing complaints about not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize.
  • Earlier this month, the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize to South African jurist Navanethem Navi Pillay for her efforts promoting peace and international law.
  • At an Iowa rally on Thursday, Republican congressional candidate Joe Mitchell presented Trump a framed "Man of the Century" award, created because Trump had not received the Nobel.
  • Echoing his 2018 remarks about Haiti and African nations, Trump's comments mirror language he initially denied before confirming at a December 2025 Pennsylvania rally that he had used "s---hole."
  • The Norwegian Nobel Committee operates as an independent five-member body appointed by Norway's parliament, meaning the Norwegian government does not select winners despite Trump's persistent demands for the prize.
