US President Donald Trump has again complained about not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, calling the Nobel Committee's decision disgraceful and criticizing Norway. He made the comments a few hours after the prize was awarded to South African lawyer Navanethem Pillay, repeating his annual disappointment at not being awarded the prize during his presidency.

A year after the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army occupies large parts of the area, kills Palestinians almost every day and prevents any reconstruction, which primarily benefits a political actor, as an analysis by Juliane von Mittelstaedt shows.
US President Donald Trump has criticized the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to former ICC judge Navi Pillay as a "disgraceful and embarrassing decision" and claimed that the US deserved the prize. Pillay, however, emphasized that her work investigating war crimes and genocide in the Gaza Strip was evidence-based and rejected accusations of bias.

US President Donald Trump criticizes the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to South African lawyer Navanethem Pillay and claims that he himself deserves the prize because he has ended eight wars. He accuses Norway of a shameful decision and sees it as a sign of how his country is being exploited.

There has been a ceasefire in the Gaza war since October 2025, but the Israeli army has recently increased its air strikes again. Hamas does not remain disarmed, and a US-backed plan to end the war is stagnating. The people of Gaza continue to suffer precarious conditions, humanitarian aid is unreliable and many hospitals are not functioning.
According to the Kremlin, US President Donald Trump and his wife Melania congratulated Russian President Vladimir Putin on his 74th birthday. Trump is said to have wished success and well-being in a phone call and sent greetings from Melania. Trump then announced a deal to supply more than 300,000 tons of diesel to the United States and the world market, which Ukrainian President Zelensky criticized as an investment in war. The two presidents are expected to meet at the APEC summit in China.
