Trump Says Norway Immigrants Not Welcome Due To Nobel Snub

US President Donald Trump attacked Norway during a political rally in Port Huron, Michigan, calling it a crude name and stating that immigrants from the country are not welcome in the US. Trump linked his remarks to the Nobel committee based in Oslo, stating he refused immigrants from Norway because he had not been awarded the Peace Prize. Trump spoke ahead of next week's midterm elections and also blamed immigration for recent unrest in France. The Trump administration has not yet framed any new official policy regarding Norwegian immigrants. Trump previously used the same crude term for Haiti, Libya, Somalia, and Yemen, and earlier this month called the failure to give him the Peace Prize an indelible stain on Norway.
