Trump slams Norway and Nobel committee after missing out on Peace Prize

On Friday, US President Donald Trump expressed his dissatisfaction over not being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, branding the decision as disgraceful and embarrassing. The criticism emerged after Norway's Nobel Committee bestowed the prestigious accolade upon Navi Pillay, a former International Criminal Court judge who led a UN report alleging genocide in Gaza. Trump dismissed Pillay as an unfamiliar "mystery person" during a campaign rally in Syracuse, New York. "I never heard of the person. Nobody did," he stated.

Throughout his presidency, Trump had frequently lamented his lack of a Nobel Peace Prize win. In his remarks, he lambasted the Norwegian decision, claiming it had left a permanent stain on the country. Trump provided a list of conflicts he believed he had helped resolve, including tensions between North and South Korea and Japan and North Korea.

However, he did not offer any substantiation for these claims. Trump further decried the Nobel Peace Prize as discredited by a few radical ideologues who are anti-democracy and enemies of civilization. He vowed that the United States would not forget Norway's decision.
