President Donald Trump criticized Norway and the Norwegian Nobel Committee after the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize went to South African judge and human rights advocate Navi Pillay.
Speaking Friday at a rally for Republican candidates in Syracuse, New York, Trump said the United States, represented by him, should have received the prize. He called the decision a “disgraceful and embarrassing decision” that left “an indelible stain on the country of Norway,” adding: “We will not forget, Norway.”
Trump described the committee as a group of “radical ideologues” and said he had never heard of Pillay, though he offered her congratulations. He also listed conflicts he claimed to have settled and said he would quickly end the wars involving Iran and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Addressing Iran, he said the country must “give us everything” or “they don’t exist any longer.”
Pillay, a former United Nations human rights chief and International Criminal Court judge, won the prize for her work against war crimes and crimes against humanity. She joked after the announcement that she might share the award with Trump if the crowd applauded more.
Trump’s remarks coincided with new U.S. sanctions on the International Criminal Court. The Nobel committee described Pillay’s award as support for international tribunals at a time when judges and institutions of international law face political attacks.

WHAT THE EDITOR DID
The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.
WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: The story needs small wording changes so it does not overstate the timing of the prize or misattribute Trump’s quoted phrase. - "after the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to South African judge and human rights advocate Navi Pillay.": Sources say Pillay won the prize, but do not specifically support that the prize was already awarded. - "He called the committee’s selection a “disgraceful and embarrassing decision”": The quoted phrase referred to “those people that made” the decision, not explicitly to the committee's selection. - "Pillay, a former United Nations human rights chief and International Criminal Court judge, received the prize for her work against war crimes and crimes against humanity.": Sources say she won the prize in recognition of that work, but do not specifically support that she already received it.
