Former US President Donald Trump launched a scathing attack on the Norwegian Nobel Committee, describing the failure to award him the Nobel Peace Prize as an indelible stain on Norway. Speaking at a rally in Syracuse, New York, Trump argued that the United States deserved the honor during his leadership and claimed the prize has lost all credibility due to what he termed extremist ideologues. His remarks followed the committee's announcement of South African judge Navi Pillay as the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, recognized for her work, including leading an UN inquiry that concluded Israel committed genocide in Gaza.
