Trump calls Nobel Peace Prize pick 'disgraceful'
Today 09:50Key points summarised by AI
Former US President Donald Trump vehemently criticized the Nobel Peace Prize decision, labeling it 'disgraceful' and asserting he should have been the recipient.
South African judge and human rights advocate Navi Pillay was awarded the prize for her significant contributions against war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Trump expressed unfamiliarity with Pillay and claimed the committee's choice left an 'indelible stain' on Norway.
Experts had previously indicated Trump's policies, including his war against Iran and attacks on multilateralism, disqualified him from the award.
Pillay lightheartedly joked about sharing her prize with Trump, referencing a past instance where another laureate had given him their Nobel medal.
