Trump warns Norway he won’t forget Nobel Peace Prize snub

US President Donald Trump expressed outrage over the Norwegian committee's decision not to award him the Nobel Peace Prize, stating that the prize had lost all credibility due to a few anti-democratic ideologues. At a rally in Syracuse, New York, Trump claimed that the United States should have been the recipient of the prestigious award, adding that the snub was a "stain on Norway and those people who made an embarrassing decision."

The Nobel Peace Prize was ultimately awarded to Navi Pillay, a South African judge and human rights lawyer, who serves as an ad hoc judge on the International Court of Justice and previously chaired the UN commission investigating Israel's war in Gaza. Trump dismissed Pillay as an obscure UN official, stating that he had never heard of her before.

The Trump administration subsequently imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC), accusing it of unfairly targeting the US and Israel. However, the sanctions were not seen as a direct response to the Nobel announcement.
