Trump at Port Huron rally: Norway "sucks," a "shit house country," and "I don't want anybody from Norway" (Oct. 25, 2026)

Case

At a Michigan rally on Oct. 25, 2026, Trump said he did not want immigrants from Norway because he did not win the Nobel Peace Prize, and called Norway a "shit house country," per Euronews and IBTimes. Norway's foreign minister said Trump knows the Nobel Committee is independent. The remarks follow Trump's Oct. 9 Syracuse comments that the prize decision was an "indelible stain" on Norway.

What Trump said (Oct. 25, 2026, Port Huron, Mich.)
At a rally in Port Huron, Michigan on Sunday, Oct. 25, 2026, Trump said he would welcome immigrants from certain countries but not Norway, "because I didn't get the Nobel Prize... So I don't want anybody from Norway."
IBTimes reported further lines from the rally: "Frankly, Norway sucks," "Norway has become a shit house country, actually," and "I don't want anything to do with Norway." Euronews's headline and lead describe the "shithouse country" remark. Quotes are from news reports, not a transcript; check against one before moving them to the hub.
The 2026 Nobel Peace Prize went to Navi Pillay, a former UN human rights chief. Trump has said he deserved the prize for "stopping eight wars."

Earlier remarks and response
On Oct. 9, 2026, hours after the prize announcement, Trump told a Syracuse, N.Y. rally: "This is an indelible stain on the country of Norway" and "And we will not forget, Norway." He provided no evidence for his claims about helping prevent wars, Reuters noted.
On Monday, Oct. 26, Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide responded that Trump "knows very well that the Nobel Committee is independent," and that Oslo had already told Washington so.
The reports reviewed found no announced change to U.S. immigration rules for Norwegian nationals.

Perspectives

Defender — Trump, in his own terms
Trump has said he helped prevent several wars and that the prize decision was a disgrace and had been "forever discredited by a handful of radical ideologues" (Syracuse, Oct. 9). At Port Huron he tied his immigration preferences directly to the prize. No White House statement defending or clarifying the Port Huron remarks was found in the reports reviewed, so the case here is his own words.

Official position — Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide
Eide said Trump knows very well that the Nobel Committee is independent of the government, and that Oslo had already conveyed this to Washington.

Note
Quotes are as reported by news outlets, not checked against an official transcript. The Nobel Committee is independent of the Norwegian government; no change to U.S. immigration rules for Norwegians has been announced.
