Donald Trump Shrugs Off Nobel Peace Prize, Says He ‘Doesn’t Care Anymore’ Amid Arctic Tensions

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has downplayed the importance of the Nobel Peace Prize, saying he no longer cares about winning the award. Trump’s comments come just days after sending a pointed message to Norway’s prime minister about rising international tensions over Arctic policy. 

From Pursuit to Indifference

Trump long expressed interest in the Nobel Peace Prize, claiming credit for helping resolve global conflicts in past years. However, in an interview with reporters, he said he “didn’t care about the Nobel Prize” following the Nobel Committee’s decision to award the honour to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado last year. Trump said he appreciated the gesture from a supporter but reiterated that the prize no longer mattered to him. 

Letter to Norway and Changing Focus

In response to a controversial letter, sent by Trumpant and dated June 24, 2019, to the Norwegian Prime Minister, Mr. Jonas Gahr Støre, where Trump expressed how he was no longer obligated to consider only peace when making policy decisions since he was not awarded a Nobel Peace Prize for 2018, and linked his approach to diplomacy and renewed focus on U.S. interests. However, the Norwegian Government clarified that the decision to award a Nobel Peace Prize is taken by an Independent Committee and not by the Norwegian Government. 

Many in the International Community are watching the Arctic and NATO relations and are trying to understand how to respond. Trump’s rhetoric has drawn the attention of some European Officials. According to Analysts, Trump’s comments demonstrate a change in U.S. Foreign Policy.

Summary
Donald Trump has publicly shrugged off the Nobel Peace Prize after being passed over this year, stating he “doesn’t care” about the award. His remarks follow a contentious letter to Norway’s prime minister linking the snub to his broader strategic focus, especially regarding Greenland and U.S. interests.
