US President Donald Trump expressed disappointment and frustration about not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, calling the decision "disgraceful and embarrassing". He claimed that the prize had been awarded to a "mystery person", Navi Pillay, a former International Criminal Court judge.
Trump stated that the decision had left an "indelible stain" on Norway, which hosts the Nobel committee. According to Trump, he had played a role in resolving several conflicts, including between North and South Korea, Japan and North Korea, and China and Taiwan, although he provided no evidence.
The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Pillay, who led a UN enquiry that concluded Israel had committed genocide in Gaza. Trump criticized the Nobel committee, saying it had been "forever discredited by a handful of radical ideologues who are anti-democracy and really enemies of civilisation".
