Trump Rails at Norway Over Nobel Peace Prize Snub

President Trump said Friday that the Nobel Peace Prize should have gone to the US. He spoke at a rally in Syracuse, New York.

• 5 members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee chose Navi Pillay this year.
• 8 wars ended under his watch, Trump claimed, each worth its own prize.
• Trump described Pillay as a liberal who works at the United Nations.
• Trump said he had never heard of Pillay but congratulated her.

Why it matters: Trump cast the snub as a national slight. He called it "an indelible stain on the country of Norway."

• He tied the decision to his claim that other countries take advantage of the US.
• He said the UN gave him no help in ending conflicts.
