At a Sunday campaign rally in Michigan, President Donald Trump recalled anticipating the Nobel Peace Prize around the time the Norwegian Nobel Committee was to reveal this year’s winner. The panel earlier this month selected Navi Pillay, a former International Criminal Court judge, for efforts to ensure prosecution of genocide and other serious international crimes. Trump, who had publicly argued the award should have been his and claimed credit for settling several conflicts, responded by criticizing Norway and the outcome. The remarks came after he also disputed Pillay’s selection on social media. The committee cited Pillay’s record in announcing its choice, while Trump’s rally comments and earlier online post criticized the result.
