U.S. President Donald Trump lashed out during a Republican rally in Syracuse, N.Y. on Friday, after learning, once again, he was not chosen as recipient for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, despite demanding it for the last two years. Before threatening the end of existence for the country of Iran, the Republican Party leader suggested he deserved the award after he “settled eight wars,” saying, “Today they gave out the Nobel Peace Prize to a person, I'd never heard of the person, nobody did. It's a mystery person.“ "This is an indelible stain on the country of Norway," he added. "And those people that made such a disgraceful and embarrassing decision.” Trump continued: “The Nobel Peace Prize has been forever discredited by a handful of radical ideologues who are anti-democracy and really enemies of civilization. And we will not forget Norway, that you didn't give this prize, with the greatest record in history, not eight wars. We should have had eight Nobel Prizes for each war.” The Norwegian Nobel Committee chose former United Nations human rights chief and International Court of Justice (ICC) judge Navi Pillay as winner of the prestigious award Friday, “for her efforts to promote peace and international law.” Shortly after Pillay was awarded, the Trump administration announced sweeping sanctions against the ICC.
