Donald Trump criticized the Norwegian Nobel Committee for failing to award him the Nobel Peace Prize, citing it as an example of foreign nations mistreating the US.

Former US President Donald Trump voiced dissatisfaction with the Norwegian Nobel Committee for declining to award him the Nobel Peace Prize. Speaking on the decision, Trump characterized his omission as a sign of unfair treatment by international bodies toward the United States, claiming the outcome "is just another sign of how Norway and all these others are ripping off our country."

The Nobel Peace Prize is selected independently by a five-member committee appointed by the Norwegian parliament. While US presidents have previously received the honor, the committee's choices frequently spark international discourse. Trump's remarks underscore his broader criticism of foreign allies and international arrangements.
