Trump Lashes Out at Nobel Peace Prize Winner Navi Pillay, Calls Award a 'Stain' on Norway
Trump said he deserved eight Nobel Peace Prizes and accused Norway and the United Nations of discrediting the award.
- On Friday, October 9, 2026, President Donald Trump criticized the Norwegian Nobel Committee during a rally in Syracuse, New York, calling the decision to award the prize to Navi Pillay an 'indelible stain on the country of Norway.'
- The Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded Pillay the prize for prosecuting war crimes and genocide, emphasizing legal frameworks and international accountability rather than individual claims of brokering peace agreements.
- Trump dismissed Pillay as a 'liberal person who nobody has heard of,' asserting he deserved eight Nobel Peace Prizes for resolving conflicts between India and Pakistan, among others.
- Speaking at an event in Nuremberg, Germany, Pillay responded to the criticism lightheartedly, telling colleagues, 'If you clap a little bit more, I may share this prize with Trump.'
- While Trump warned supporters, 'We will not forget Norway,' the Norwegian government clarified that the Nobel Committee operates independently and does not award the prize itself.
