Trump criticizes Norway after missing out on Nobel Peace Prize

Donald Trump criticized the award of the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize to Navi Pillay, calling the decision “shameful.” He also argued that the United States deserved the recognition under his presidency.

At a political rally in Syracuse, Trump directed his criticism at Norway and the Norwegian Nobel Committee. He said the decision would leave a negative mark on the European country and that he would not forget what he considered a snub.

Pillay, an 85-year-old South African jurist, was recognized for her work defending human rights and international law. She received the news in Nuremberg, where she joked about sharing the prize with Trump.
