Trump calls Norway "disgusting" over Nobel Prize snub

Sharp statements from the US President

US President Donald Trump publicly criticised Norway, expressing his desire to completely cease any contact with the country. He cited the fact that he had not received the Nobel Peace Prize as the main reason for such a sharp outburst.

These comments were made during his speech in the state of Michigan.

Stance on relations with Scandinavia

«Я не хочу нікого з Норвегії. Не хочу мати з Норвегією нічого спільного. Я не отримав Нобелівську премію, хоча й завершив війни» ("I don't want anyone from Norway. I don't want to have anything to do with Norway. I didn't get the Nobel Prize, even though I ended wars"), the American leader emphasised.

In addition, Trump allowed himself an extremely negative assessment of the country, calling it "disgusting". According to him, Norway had allegedly turned into such a state.
