Trump tells supporters he does not want Norwegian immigrants after Nobel loss

Remarks made during campaign event

The president called Norway a disgraceful country while speaking to supporters. He stated that the nation had become unwelcome because the Nobel committee did not award him the Peace Prize. Trump explicitly said he does not want anybody from Norway entering the United States.

Norwegian government defends independence

Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide told a broadcaster that the Nobel Committee operates independently of the state. Officials reminded the president that this independence remains true despite his comments. The ministry declined to offer further comment on the situation.

No official policy change announced

There is currently no indication that the administration will adopt new rules for Norwegian citizens. Reports confirm that no official announcement has been made regarding changes to immigration policy. The remarks were part of a political rally ahead of upcoming mid-term elections.
