US President Donald Trump on Saturday continued to criticise the decision to award the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize to Indian-origin South African jurist Navi Pillay, claiming that he had settled eight wars, is close to ending or settling two more conflicts and deserved the prestigious honour for his efforts.
Trump’s remarks came after the Norwegian Nobel Committee announced on Friday that Pillay had been awarded the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts to promote peace and international law.
Hours after the Nobel Peace Prize announcement, the United States announced additional sanctions targeting the ICC, citing concerns over American sovereignty and the threat posed by the international judicial body. “This is the woman who received the Nobel Peace Prize over the Great United States of America, whose Representative, ME, settled eight Wars, and many other things. I know nothing about this woman, and neither does anyone else!
“I settled 8 WARS, am close to ending or settling 2 more, got all of the Israeli hostages back, including the final 28, both living and dead, had hundreds of hostages, from countries all over the World, released and sent back home, won a war in Venezuela, and captured the violent dictator who so viciously ran that country, and stopped the number one state sponsor of terror, the Islamic Republic of Iran, from obtaining a Nuclear Weapon – AND MUCH MORE! Trump’s remarks came after the Norwegian Nobel Committee announced on Friday that Pillay had been awarded the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts to promote peace and international law.
Yet, with all of that I, or the United States of America, did not get the Noble Peace Prize,” Trump said in his post on Truth Social. Trump said. The Nobel Committee, in its announcement, said Pillay had demonstrated exceptional courage and integrity in advancing a more comprehensive global legal order and had played a significant role in ensuring that war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide are prosecuted. In a fact sheet, the US Department of State said the Trump administration was taking further measures against the ICC under an executive order titled “Imposing Sanctions on the International Criminal Court”.
