US President Donald Trump on Sunday ​escalated his invective against Norway, calling it a "shit ‌house country" and saying Norwegian immigrants are not welcome in the United States because the Nobel committee, based in the capital Oslo, ​has not awarded him a Peace Prize.

Trump made ​the comments at a political rally in Port ⁠Huron, Michigan, ahead of next week's midterm elections.

Attributing recent unrest in ​France to immigration, Trump said he would welcome immigrants from ​some countries but not from Norway "because I didn't get the Nobel Prize ... So I don't want anybody from Norway."

There was no ​indication that the Trump administration was adopting new official ​policy on Norwegian immigrants.

"Norway has become a shit house country, actually," Trump ‌said, ⁠using a term that he has previously applied to Haiti, Libya, Somalia and Yemen.

Norway is among the highest-income countries as measured by GDP per capita, according to International ​Monetary Fund data. Norway's ​sovereign wealth ⁠fund posted a record profit of 1.75 trillion Norwegian crowns ($184.3 billion) for the first half ​of 2026.

Norway's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a ​representative ⁠for the Norwegian Nobel Committee did not immediately return requests for comment outside regular office hours.

Trump earlier this month called the ⁠failure ​to give him a Nobel Peace ​Prize an "indelible stain" on Norway.
