President Donald Trump said Norwegian immigrants were not welcome in the United States because he had not been awarded a Nobel Peace Prize, during a rally in Port Huron, Michigan, on October 25, 2026. There was no indication that his administration was adopting a new immigration policy for Norwegians.

Norwegian immigrants and the Nobel remarks

Speaking ahead of the US midterm elections, Trump said he would welcome immigrants from some countries but not from Norway. He linked his remarks to the Nobel committee, which is based in Oslo.

Trump also used a vulgar term to describe Norway. He has previously used the same term for Haiti, Libya, Somalia and Yemen.

Earlier criticism and response

Earlier in October, Trump called the failure to award him a Nobel Peace Prize an “indelible stain” on Norway.

Norway’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a representative of the Norwegian Nobel Committee did not immediately respond to requests for comment made outside regular office hours.
