US President Donald Trump told a rally in Port Huron, Michigan, on Sunday that he does not want Norwegians coming to America, saying it was because he did not win the Nobel Peace Prize.

The remark came on 25 October as Trump discussed immigration, nine days before the 3 November midterm elections. Blaming recent unrest in France on immigrants, he said he would welcome people from some countries, including Denmark, but not from Norway 'because I didn't get the Nobel Prize ... So I don't want anybody from Norway.'
