  "account": "At a political rally in Port Huron, Michigan, just before the upcoming midterm elections, US President Donald Trump intensified his criticism of Norway. He labeled Norway as a \"shit house country\" and expressed a willingness to reject Norwegian immigrants due to the Nobel committee in Oslo's refusal to award him the Nobel Peace Prize.\n\nTrump's remarks came on the heels of recent unrest in France, which he attributed to immigration. He stated that he would welcome immigrants from some countries but not from Norway, citing his lack of a Nobel Prize as the reason for his dislike of Norway. The President has used this term before, applying it to other nations such as Haiti, Libya, Somalia, and Yemen.\n\nDespite the President's disparaging remarks, there is no evidence that the Trump administration is planning to implement any new official policies regarding Norwegian immigrants. Norway, consistently ranked among the highest-income countries based on GDP per capita, boasts a record-breaking sovereign wealth fund profit of 1.75 trillion Norwegian crowns ($184.3 billion) for the first half of 2026.\n\nThe Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a representative from the Norwegian Nobel Committee did not respond to requests for comment outside regular office hours. Earlier this month, Trump referred to his inability to win the Nobel Peace Prize as an \"indelible stain\" on Norway.",
