Speaking on October 25 to Republican Party supporters in the city of Port Huron, Trump once again raised the issue of the Nobel Peace Prize. He expressed dissatisfaction that another person received the award, although the president himself believes he deserves it.

Trump is not criticizing the Nobel Committee for the first time
The 2026 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, South African lawyer Navanethem Pillay.
After the laureate was announced on October 9, Trump had already criticized the Nobel Committee's decision, calling it a disgrace for Norway.
The US president has repeatedly claimed that he ended several international conflicts and therefore deserves the peace prize. At the same time, independent observers question some of his claims about wars he has ended.
The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded by the independent Norwegian Nobel Committee, not the Norwegian government.
