Video. Trump Calls Norway a ‘Shithouse Country’ over Nobel Peace Prize Snub
Trump tied the insult to his frustration over losing the Nobel Peace Prize and said he would not welcome immigrants from Norway.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump labeled Norway a "sh*thouse country" during a rally in Port Huron, Michigan, linking the insult to his frustration over not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize.
- Trump stated he would welcome immigrants from certain nations but not Norway "because I didn't get the Nobel Prize," recalling his earlier prediction of a win to First Lady Melania Trump.
- Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre previously explained to Trump that the Norwegian Nobel Committee operates independently; the committee awarded the 2026 prize to South African jurist Navanethem Pillay on October 9.
- Responding on Monday, Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide maintained the committee's independence, while Trump's remarks echoed his January 2018 controversy involving Haiti and African nations, which drew bipartisan criticism.
- Trump connected his Nobel expectations to claims he settled eight international conflicts, though independent fact-checkers have challenged this assertion; the committee recognized Pillay for her decades of work defending Human Rights.
