After South African judge Navanethem Pillay was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize today, US President Trump retweeted a post on his social media platform "Truth Social" criticizing the decision.

The British newspaper Independent reported that Trump retweeted a post by his former lawyer David Schoen. After the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, Trump accepted the Senate impeachment trial. Xiong En defended Trump at the time.

Xiong En wrote: "Today, the Nobel Committee's decision has caused irreparable loss of face. It has also humiliated the once noble Nobel Peace Prize and awarded the award to Pillai of the United Nations."

He noted: "Pillay has made no secret of her hostility to the United States and Israel. During her time in office, she praised terrorists and rewarded Hamas. She conducted a bogus 'inquiry', claimed that Israel committed genocide, and called for prosecution."

Xiong En mentioned: "She has no credibility in any normal field. She has never done anything to promote peace. What she has done is the opposite."
