'Stain on the country': Trump criticises Norway over Nobel Peace Prize

US President Donald Trump has once again made complaints that he did not receive the Nobel Peace Prize, calling this year's decision "disgraceful and embarrassing".The prize was awarded to former International Criminal Court judge Navi Pillay on Friday. Hours after the announcement, Donald Trump told a rally he had "never heard" of the "mystery person"."This is an indelible stain on the country of Norway" he said, adding "we will not forget".Trump has been outspoken about his desire to win the prize, and made similar criticisms in 2025 when it was awarded to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado.Last year, Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre explained to Trump it was an independent committee based in Norway, not the Norwegian government, which decides who will receive the prize.Speaking to his supporters at a rally in Syracuse, New York, the US president repeated claims that he had settled eight wars and was "about to settle or win two more", without providing evidence."The Nobel Peace Prize has been forever discredited by a handful of radical ideologues who are anti-democracy and really enemies of civilisation," he said.
