His assessments of the decision and the laureate are political statements by Trump.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\">\n<p><strong>Briefly about the main points<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Trump criticised the decision to award the Nobel Peace Prize to Navi Pillay.<\/li>\n<li>He described this decision as an \u00abindelible stain\u00bb on Norway\u2019s reputation.<\/li>\n<li>The prize is awarded by the independent Norwegian Nobel Committee, not by the country\u2019s government.<\/li>\n<li>Trump also claimed to have made diplomatic achievements, without providing any evidence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>What Trump said at the rally<\/h2>\n<p>Speaking at Oncenter in Syracuse, <strong>Trump<\/strong> called <strong>Pilley<\/strong> \u00aba \u00bbmysterious figure\u00ab and claimed that \u00bbnobody had ever heard of her\u00ab before. He also described the awarding of the prize as an \u00bbindelible stain\u00ab on Norway\u2019s reputation and said: \u00bbWe will not forget you, Norway.\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Trump stated that <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/politics\/machado-peredala-trampu-nobelivsku-premiiu\/\">The Nobel Peace Prize<\/a> allegedly discredited for good by \u00abradical ideologues\u00bb, whom he described as enemies of civilisation. This is his assessment of the committee\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n<h2>Who actually decides the winner?<\/h2>\n<p>The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded by the Norwegian Nobel Committee, which consists of five members appointed by the country\u2019s parliament \u2014 the Storting. The Committee operates independently of the Norwegian Government.<\/p>\n<p>Chair of the Committee <strong>J\u00f8rgen Vatne Fr\u00fcdnes<\/strong> emphasised this independence. Therefore, the decision regarding the laureate is not a decision taken by the Norwegian Government, although Trump directed his criticism at the country as a whole.<\/p>\n<h2>Background on the laureate and diplomatic statements<\/h2>\n<p>Navi Pillay is a former judge of the International Criminal Court and a former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. In September 2025, the independent UN commission she chaired concluded that Israel was responsible for genocide against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip; this is the commission\u2019s conclusion, not a final court ruling.<\/p>\n<p>At the rally, Trump also claimed credit for resolving or preventing conflicts involving North and South Korea, Japan, China and Taiwan, without providing any evidence. Earlier, his administration\u2019s talks with the leader of the DPRK <strong>Kim Jong-un<\/strong> between 2017 and 2021 did not result in an agreement on denuclearisation.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 9 October, Trump criticised Norway following the announcement that Navi Pillay had been awarded the Peace Prize.
