Trump criticises Norway over Nobel Peace Prize snub

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 26 Oct, 02:01 · Archive

Donald Trump has escalated criticism of Norway at a political rally, complaining the Nobel committee has not awarded him a Peace Prize.

Donald Trump escalated his criticism of Norway at a political rally in Port Huron, Michigan on Sunday, ahead of the November 3 mid-term elections. He called Norway a 'shit house country' and said he would not welcome immigrants from the country because the Nobel committee, based in Oslo, has not awarded him a Peace Prize. 'So I don't want anybody from Norway,' Trump said.

Trump attributed recent unrest in France to immigration and said he would welcome immigrants from some countries but not from Norway. He also said earlier in October that the failure to give him a Nobel Peace Prize was an 'indelible stain' on Norway. Trump has previously applied similar language to Haiti, Libya, Somalia and Yemen.

Norway is among the highest-income countries as measured by GDP per capita, according to International Monetary Fund data. Its sovereign wealth fund posted a record profit of 1.75 trillion Norwegian crowns (A$264.2 billion) for the first half of 2026. There was no indication that the Trump administration was adopting new official policy on Norwegian immigrants. Norway's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Norwegian Nobel Committee did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
