Donald Trump used vulgar language to describe Norway after he did not receive the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize. The US president made the remarks at a rally in Michigan. Norwegian officials stated that the Norwegian government has no influence over the Nobel Peace Prize. In response to Trump's comments, Norwegian tourism organisations DNT and Visit Norway posted content on social media. ## Disagreement on Trump's past comments about Norway Yucatan.com.mx reported that Donald Trump was courteous to Norway during his first term and described it as a country the US should accept more immigrants from. None of the other reports mentioned Trump's previous positive remarks about Norway. ## What the coverage left out None of the left, centre, or right-rated digests mention the specific social media posts by DNT and Visit Norway in response to Trump's remarks. The digests also do not include the statement from Norwegian officials that their government has no influence over the Nobel Peace Prize. ## Who covered it Shares of the 16 covering outlets with a published leaning rating: - Left: 44% (7) - Centre: 50% (8) - Right: 6% (1) 16 of 32 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages. Coverage measured 2026-10-28T03:00:24.564994+00:00. **Coverage watch:** developing. Checked 7 times; 0 checks found a material change. Most recently checked 2026-10-28T03:45:25.850Z. ## How the sides framed it ### Left - Four left-rated reports focused on Donald Trump's insult to Norway following his Nobel Peace Prize snub. Buzzfeed's headline stated Norway "Clapped Back" after Trump called it a "S**thouse Country." IBTimes UK reported Trump attacked Norway after missing out on the prize, noting the Norwegian committee operates independently. Stuff reported Trump's "foul-mouthed tirade" included saying Norwegian immigrants were not welcome in the US. The New Indian Express quoted Trump saying he would welcome immigrants from certain countries but not Norway "because I didn't get the Nobel Prize." ### Centre - Two centre-rated reports highlighted Norway's response to Trump's insult. RadarOnline reported Norway "Fires Back" after Trump called the country a "shi*house" over his Nobel Peace Prize snub. Euronews reported Trump called Norway a "shithouse country" over the snub, accompanying the report with a video. ### Right - One right-rated report focused on Trump's criticism of a European nation. The Daily Express headline stated Donald Trump "tears into European 's***house' country - 'it sucks'." The digest noted the US president turned his fury on the small European nation of 5.7 million people. **Provisional coverage gap:** right. The watch is not closed, so this is not yet a settled blindspot finding. ## Factuality profile of the covering outlets These are published factuality ratings of the outlets, not a verdict on whether this story or its claims are true. - low: 2 - high: 5 - unknown: 17 - veryHigh: 8 ## Verification scope This page compares coverage and scores the source reporting.
