United States President Donald Trump has said Norwegian immigrants are not welcome in the US because he did not win the Nobel Peace Prize, the Telegraph reports.
The president made the declaration while addressing his supporters at a rally in Michigan on Monday.
Trump, in the attack on the country, said, “Frankly, Norway sucks. Norway has become a shithouse country, actually.
I will welcome immigrants from Denmark but not from Norway because I didn’t get the Nobel Prize, so I don’t want anybody from Norway.”
Trump has lobbied for the accolade for years and previously pressured the Nobel committee, a five-person team appointed by Norway’s parliament, to recognise his peacemaking efforts.
There was no indication the US administration had adopted a new policy on immigrants from either Scandinavian country.
