Bloomberg learned of concerns in Norway about the Peace Prize and Trump.

Norway is concerned about possible retaliatory measures if US President Donald Trump does not receive the Nobel Peace Prize, reportsBLOOMBERG citing sources.

According to the agency, Trump's aggressive campaign has intensified in recent days in the lead-up to the announcement of the award's winner on October 10.

As the president previously stated, "everyone is saying" he "should win the Nobel Peace Prize." Trump noted that he and the United States have not received due recognition for the agreement to normalize diplomatic relations between Israel and several Arab countries in 2020. Furthermore, since returning to the White House, he has claimed to have ended at least six wars, the agency writes.

On Tuesday, September 30, he said he didn't expect to receive the award: "They'll give it to some guy who didn't do a damn thing." Trump believes such an outcome would be a "great insult" to the United States.

In private conversations with his European counterparts, Trump's special envoy, Steve, said officials familiar with the matterWitkoff raised the issue of Trump's nomination for the Nobel Prize. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also occasionally expressed support for Trump's nomination. Furthermore, according to Bloomberg, Albert Bourla, CEO of the pharmaceutical company Pfizer Inc. , also intervened , citing Trump's work as part of the operation to develop vaccines againstcovid-19 in the US "worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize."

The DIRECTOR of the Norwegian Nobel Institute, Christian Berg Harpviken, stated that the Norwegian Nobel Committee "has not been subject to direct political pressure, but it is clear that several campaigns, both public and private, are underway." He did not mention Trump, however.

The decisions of the five-member committee appointed by Norway's parliament are classified for 50 years, so if Trump doesn't win on October 10, historians will have to wait half a century to find out whether he even made the 2025 shortlist, the agency writes.

Asked about the possible response if the US president does not win, one senior official, speaking on condition of anonymity, joked that he was considering taking a sick day on October 10.

Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide, when asked whether the country feared a backlash if Trump did not win, said: "That depends entirely on the Nobel Committee. It's important to remember that it's an independent committee."

According to Bloomberg, before the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize ceremony, the Norwegian Committee received warnings from CHINA about the consequences of recognizing a Chinese dissident. Despite the threats, the committee awarded the prize to Liu Xiaobo, who later died in prison. In response, Beijing froze diplomatic contacts and free trade negotiations. Diplomatic relations were only restored in 2016.

At the end of September, Ukrainian parliamentarians nominated Trump for the Nobel Prize, and a corresponding initiative to nominate him was submitted to the Verkhovna Rada.

Before Ukraine, several governments proposed nominating Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize , including Israel, Pakistan, Cambodia, Gabon, Rwanda, Armenia, and Azerbaijan . The American leader has contributed, or is attempting to contribute, to conflict resolution in several of these countries.

Trump himself has repeatedly claimed to have ended "seven wars." Dagens Næringsliv (DN) reported that he contacted former NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, who had become the finance minister of Norway (the home of the Nobel Committee), and inquired, among other things, about the Nobel Peace Prize.
