US President Donald Trump has criticized former ICC judge Navi Pillay's award of the Nobel Peace Prize as a "disgraceful and embarrassing decision". This year's Nobel Committee election in Oslo leaves an "indelible stain" on Norway, Trump told supporters in Syracuse, New York, on Friday. The Nobel Peace Prize has been forever discredited by a “handful of radical ideologists” who are anti-democratic and in fact enemies of civilization.
He added: “We will not forget Norway that they did not give this prize for the greatest record in history.” The United States should have had eight Nobel Prizes - one for each war his country ended. “The fact that they didn’t give the Nobel Peace Prize to the United States of America is just another sign of how Norway and all these others are exploiting our country.”
