Trump said Norway "sucks" and he doesn't need immigrants from that country, citing resentment for not winning the Nobel Prize At a campaign rally in Michigan on October 25, United States President Donald Trump criticized Norway, again expressing dissatisfaction with the fact that it was not awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. "I said, 'First lady, I'm going to receive the Nobel Prize in two weeks, and it will be a great honor,'" Trump said, but the award "went to a woman no one had ever heard of." The 2026 recipient is Navanethem Pillay, a judge at the International Court of Justice and former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. Also in his speech, Trump mentioned the recent unrest in France, and linked it to immigration, and said that he is ready to accept immigrants from certain countries, but not from Norway: "Since I didn't receive the Nobel Prize, I don't want anyone from Norway." "Honestly, Norway sucks. In general, Norway has become a s*** country," the US president added. At the moment, there are no signs that the US government is going to change its immigration policy regarding Norwegian citizens, Reuters clarifies. Trump has previously used the phrase "crap country" to refer to countries such as Haiti, Libya, Somalia and Yemen. The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Nobel Committee have not yet responded to these statements.
