Norway joins the list of countries Trump has abused in vulgar terms

Says he will welcome immigrants from some ​countries but not from Norway 'because I didn't get the Nobel Prize'

US President Donald Trump on Sunday escalated ​his invective against Norway, calling it a "shit house country" and ‌saying Norwegian immigrants were not welcome in the United States because the Nobel committee, based in the capital Oslo, had not awarded him a Peace ​Prize.

Trump made the comments at a political rally in Port ​Huron, Michigan, ahead of next week's mid-term elections.

Attributing recent unrest in ⁠France to immigration, Trump said he would welcome immigrants from some ​countries but not from Norway "because I didn't get the Nobel Prize ... ​So I don't want anybody from Norway"

There was no indication that the Trump administration was adopting new official policy on Norwegian immigrants.

"He knows very well that ​the Nobel Committee is independent. We have reminded them of that, ​if anyone is wondering, and that is still the case," Norwegian Foreign Minister ‌Espen ⁠Barth Eide told national broadcaster NRK on Monday. His ministry declined to comment further.

"Norway has become a shit house country, actually," Trump said, using a term that he has previously applied to Haiti, ​Libya, Somalia and Yemen.

Norway ​is among ⁠the highest-income countries as measured by GDP per capita, according to International Monetary Fund data. Norway's sovereign wealth fund posted ​a record profit of 1.75 trillion Norwegian crowns ($184.3 ​billion) for ⁠the first half of 2026

The Norwegian Nobel Committee did not immediately return requests for comment

Trump earlier this month called the failure to give ⁠him ​a Nobel Peace Prize an "indelible stain" on ​Norway.
