President Donald Trump said at a Sunday campaign rally in Port Huron, Michigan, that Norwegian immigrants were not welcome in the United States because the Oslo-based Nobel Committee had not awarded him the Peace Prize1,2.
He used vulgar language about Norway that Reuters said he has previously applied to other countries1. There was no indication the administration was changing official policy on Norwegian immigration1.
Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide told NRK on Monday that Trump knows the Nobel Committee is independent and that Oslo has reminded Washington of that1,2. The committee did not immediately comment1.
Trump has repeatedly criticized recent Peace Prize decisions, including this year’s award to South African jurist Navi Pillay2. The remarks came a week before the Nov. 3 midterms1,2.
