US President Donald Trump on Sunday stepped up his verbal attacks against Norway, using abusive language to call it a “sh*t house country”. He linked his remarks to the Nobel committee’s decision not to award him the Nobel Peace Prize.
Trump said he would welcome immigrants from certain nations but not from Norway “because I didn’t get the Nobel Prize …
“Norway has become a sh*t house country, actually,” Trump said. So I don’t want anybody from Norway,” the report added. However, there was no indication that the Trump-led US administration was adopting new official policy on immigrants from Norway. This instance is not the first in which the US President has expressed criticism over being denied the Nobel Peace Prize.
Norwegian foreign minister Espen Barth Eide told national broadcaster NRK on Monday that the Nobel Committee is independent, Reuters added.
Speaking at a political rally in Michigan prior to next week’s midterm elections, Trump criticised Norway and declared that Norwegian immigrants were unwelcome in the US, according to a report by Reuters .
