The Norwegian Nobel Committee chose Navi Pillay for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize rather than President Donald Trump, who had sought the award. Trump criticized the choice and the committee in social media posts on Friday and Saturday, The New York Times, the New York Post and Fox News report. The Times reports that Trump said he should have won “8 Nobel Peace Prizes.” Fox News and One America News report that Trump cited his foreign accomplishments, including what he described as settling multiple wars. The accomplishments and the number of prizes are Trump’s own claims, attributed to him here.
