Trump Tells Norway PM Peace Not Sole Focus After Nobel Snub

Barbed message to Oslo follows Trump’s bitterness over missing out on the Nobel Peace Prize he coveted.

President Donald Trump expressed his resentment over not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, telling Norway’s PM Jonas Gahr Store that he feels no longer obligated to prioritize peace. Trump’s claim of having ended eight wars has been disputed by analysts, while Store reminded him that the prize is awarded by an independent committee, not the Norwegian government. Amidst this, Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado presented Trump with her Nobel medal, further complicating the narrative around the awards. The Nobel Institute reiterated that a peace prize cannot be shared or transferred, regardless of any physical exchanges.
