Trump Lashes Out at Nobel Peace Prize Winner Navi Pillay, Calls Award a 'Stain' on Norway
Trump said he deserved eight Nobel Peace Prizes and accused Norway and the United Nations of discrediting the award.
- On Friday, October 9, 2026, President Donald Trump criticized the Nobel Peace Prize committee during a rally in Syracuse, New York, calling the decision to award Navi Pillay an 'indelible stain on the country of Norway.'
- The Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded Pillay the prize for her international legal work prosecuting war crimes and genocide, emphasizing that peace requires legal frameworks rather than individual leaders' claims of brokering peace.
- Trump dismissed Pillay as a 'liberal person who nobody has heard of,' asserting he deserved eight Nobel Peace Prizes for conflicts he claimed to have resolved, including disputes between India and Pakistan.
- Speaking at an event in Nuremberg, Germany, Pillay responded lightheartedly to the criticism, telling colleagues, 'If you clap a little bit more, I may share this prize with Trump.'
- While Trump warned supporters 'We will not forget Norway,' the Norwegian government clarified that the Nobel Committee operates independently, not under government control.
