US President Donald Trump criticized Norway over the Nobel Peace Prize being awarded to former International Criminal Court judge Navi Pillay on Friday. At a rally in Syracuse, New York, Trump called the decision "disgraceful and embarrassing" and said it was an "indelible stain on the country of Norway." He repeated his claim that he had settled eight wars without providing evidence. The Nobel committee honored Pillay for her work promoting peace and international law, noting her contributions to prosecuting war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide.

Story summary
On October 9, 2026, Donald Trump expressed his frustration at not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for a consecutive year during a campaign rally in Syracuse, New York. The prize was awarded to Navi Pillay, described by Trump as an obscure figure, who led a UN report concluding that Israel committed genocide in Gaza. Trump called the decision “an indelible stain on the country of Norway,” suggesting the Norwegian Nobel Committee had discredited itself by not recognizing him for his alleged role in settling eight wars and preventing conflicts globally. He claimed to have "saved more lives than anyone in history" by stopping Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, despite criticism that such claims lacked evidence.
