President Donald Trump expressed outrage over Norway’s decision to deny him the Nobel Peace Prize, calling the country’s actions a “disgraceful and embarrassing decision” that has left an “indelible stain.” The remarks came shortly after the Nobel Committee announced the 2026 award to Navi Pillay, a former International Criminal Court judge.
Trump claimed he “should have won 8 Nobel Peace Prizes” and criticized the Nobel Committee for its “disgraceful” choice. He accused the committee of failing to recognize his contributions to global peace. The Norwegian government, which selects the Nobel Peace Prize winners, has not commented on Trump’s remarks.
This is the second time Trump has publicly criticized the Nobel Committee’s decision. In 2020, he also expressed disappointment over not receiving the award. The controversy highlights ongoing tensions between the U.S. And Norway, particularly regarding Trump’s policies and international relations. The Nobel Peace Prize, awarded annually by the Norwegian Nobel Committee, is one of the most prestigious honors in the world.
