  "account": "US President Donald Trump expressed outrage on Friday night over the Nobel Committee's decision to award the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize to South African jurist Navi Pillay, a former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. Trump argued that the prestigious honor should have been bestowed upon the United States, and by extension himself. During a campaign rally in Syracuse, New York, Trump stated that he had never heard of Pillay before the announcement, and that the prize was given to someone who was unfamiliar to him. The Norwegian Nobel Committee cited Pillay's efforts to promote peace and international law, including her tenure as UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and her service on the International Criminal Court. Trump dismissed the UN's role in the conflicts he claims he resolved, stating that he never spoke to the United Nations during his eight \"wars,\" and that the United States, represented by him as president, deserved the prize. Trump accused Norway of \"dishonoring\" itself with its decision, and branded the Nobel Peace Prize as \"crooked\" and tainted by radical ideologues who oppose democracy.",
  "summary": "Trump slammed the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Navi Pillay, calling her \"a liberal person who works at the United Nations, who nobody has ever heard of,\" while arguing that the US deserved the award.",
