US President Donald Trump has criticised the Nobel Prize after failing once again to win the peace prize, describing this year\u2019s decision as \u201cdisgraceful and embarrassing.\u201d<\/p>\n

At a rally in Syracuse, New York, on Saturday, the president took some time to voice his frustration.<\/p>\n

He said the US, represented by him, deserved the peace prize and should have won it.<\/p>\n

He, once again, made the oft-repeated but false claim that he had settled eight wars since resuming office.<\/p>\n

Mr Trump said he was just \u201cabout to settle or win two more. Russia-Ukraine and Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI will tell you what,\u201d he added, darkly. \u201cIran will be very quick one way or the other: that they give us everything or they don\u2019t exist any longer,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n

\n\"PT<\/a><\/div>\n
\"Dangote<\/a><\/div>\n

He said the Nobel committee\u2019s failure to award him the peace prize was an \u201cindelible stain on the country of Norway.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also said the committee made \u201csuch a disgraceful and embarrassing decision.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Nobel Peace Prize has been forever discredited by a handful of radical ideologues who are anti-democracy and really enemies of civilisation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Trump has been outspoken about his desire to win the prize and campaigned intensely for it for months last year. He criticised the organisation when the peace prize was eventually awarded to Venezuelan opposition leader Mar\u00eda Corina Machado.<\/p>\n

Ms Machado would later gift her medal to Mr Trump for what she described as his commitment to Venezuela\u2019s freedom following the US abduction of President Nicholas Maduro. Mr Trump called the move \u201ca wonderful gesture of mutual respect\u201d but the Nobel committee clarified that the prize was not transferable.<\/p>\n

The 2026 Nobel Peace Prize winner, Navi Pillay, is a South African jurist and former UN high commissioner for human rights.<\/p>\n

The South African judge was recognised for her efforts to promote peace and international law.<\/p>\n

The Nobel committee said her work paved the way for a \u201cmore comprehensive global legal order.\u201d<\/p>\n

While reacting to the news, the 85-year-old made a light-hearted joke about Mr Trump.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you clap a little bit more, I may share this prize with Trump,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
