Trump criticizes Norway and Nobel Committee
U.S. President Donald Trump strongly criticized the Nobel Peace Prize and the Norwegian Committee responsible for selecting the winners, following the award of the 2026 prize to Judge Navi Pillay. According to Trump, ignoring his nomination is a "stain on Norway's history" and encourages accusations of adopting extremist ideologies that oppose democracy. Trump also attacked the committee and its affiliates, claiming they overlook his significant diplomatic efforts to resolve international conflicts, asserting that Washington was more deserving of the prize. He emphasized that his actions led to major settlements of conflicts between North and South Korea, China, and Taiwan. His criticism of Navi Pillay, who received the prize for her work on human rights, was driven by her positions against Israel and her defense of Palestinians in Gaza, especially following a report accusing Israel of committing genocide—an accusation rejected by both the United States and Israel. Israel also launched an attack on Pillay, with its Prime Minister describing her report as "Gobels' applause from hell." Observers believe that the exchanges between Trump and Pillay reflect tensions between the U.S. administration and international human rights organizations. This comes amid an American escalation against the International Criminal Court, as the U.S. imposed sanctions in an attempt to hinder its work, despite the court's president rejecting these sanctions and considering them an assault on the independence of the international judiciary.
