On October 26, 2026, during a campaign rally in Port Huron, Michigan, former US President Donald Trump expressed his outrage over not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, calling Norway a 'shithole country'. He stated that he does not wish to accept immigrants from this country.
Trump's Comments on Immigration
While discussing immigration issues, Trump emphasized his willingness to accept people from Denmark, but not from Norway, as he feels he has not received proper recognition for his peacekeeping efforts. He stated:
- 'I don't want anything to do with Norway';
- 'I prefer Denmark much more';
- 'I don't want immigrants from Somalia.'
These remarks are part of a series of similar comments Trump has made about countries he considers problematic, including Haiti, Libya, Somalia, and Yemen.
Nobel Peace Prize and Trump's Reaction
Trump also highlighted that despite his efforts to resolve international conflicts, he has been passed over for the Nobel Peace Prize twice. He expressed his belief that he deserves this award, claiming to have resolved at least eight conflicts during his second presidential term. Trump asked:
- 'What about me? Don't they give out two prizes?'
These comments have sparked significant media and public reaction, as Trump once again demonstrated his provocative rhetoric regarding international relations.
