Donald Trump criticises Norway and calls Nobel Peace Prize decision a 'stain' after Navi Pillay wins
Überblick
US President Donald Trump has criticised Norway after former International Criminal Court judge Navi Pillay was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, describing the decision as disgraceful, embarrassing, and an 'indelible stain' on the country. Trump claimed at a rally in Syracuse, New York, that he had settled multiple wars and accused the Nobel committee of being radical ideologues. The Norwegian Nobel Committee recognised Pillay for her efforts to promote peace, international law, and the prosecution of war crimes. The committee also reiterated that Nobel prizes cannot be transferred, following a previous incident where last year's winner gifted her medal to Trump.
