WASHINGTON, October 10 - RIA Novosti. US President Donald Trump believes that the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to a mystery man, an unknown UN employee who achieved nothing, and the committee discredited itself.
The 2026 Nobel Peace Prize will be awarded to former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay, the Nobel Committee in Oslo announced. The prize, as the committee clarifies, is awarded for efforts to promote peace and international law.
"They gave the Nobel Peace Prize to a man I've never heard of. Nobody has heard of. A man of mystery," Trump told supporters at a rally in Syracuse, New York, in support of the Republican gubernatorial candidate.
Trump criticized the entire award process. "An indelible stain on the state of Norway and the people who made such a shameful and disgraceful decision. The Nobel Peace Prize is forever discredited by a small group of supporters of radical ideologies," Trump said.
