President Trump criticized the Norwegian Nobel Committee for awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to South African jurist Navi Pillay instead of him. In a series of statements, Trump listed his foreign policy achievements—including the capture of Nicolas Maduro and actions against Iran—as reasons he deserved the honor. He described the committee's decision as a 'stain' on Norway and characterized Pillay as an unknown 'liberal person,' while Secretary of State Marco Rubio separately announced sanctions against the International Criminal Court where Pillay formerly served.
