Trump adds Norway to vulgar list of countries, citing Nobel snub

U.S. President Donald Trump, during a political rally in Port Huron, Michigan, on Sunday, made harsh remarks about Norway, describing it as a "shit house country" and expressing his disapproval of Norwegian immigrants coming to the United States. The comments were made in the wake of recent unrest in France, and Trump linked it to immigration.

He said he would welcome immigrants from some countries but not from Norway because he had not received the Nobel Peace Prize from Oslo. This didn't suggest any new official policy from the Trump administration towards Norwegian immigrants. The term "shit house" is one Trump has previously used to describe Haiti, Libya, Somalia, and Yemen.

Norway, known for its high income level, holds the title of having the highest GDP per capita according to International Monetary Fund data. The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a representative from the Norwegian Nobel Committee were unreachable for comment outside regular office hours. Earlier this month, Trump referred to the Nobel snub as an "indelible stain" on Norway.
