'Disgraceful': Trump slams Norway over 2026 Nobel Peace Prize winner
What's the story
US President Donald Trump has once again voiced his displeasure over not being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The comments came during a campaign rally in Syracuse, New York, where he slammed this year's winner Navi Pillay, a former International Criminal Court judge. Pillay oversaw a UN report that concluded Israel committed genocide in Gaza. "I never heard of the person. Nobody did," Trump said at the rally.
