Norway Outraged by Nobel Prize Offer to Trump

A gesture by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Corina Machado to offer her award as a gift to United States President Donald Trump has caused strong reactions in Norway.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee has stated that the Nobel Peace Prize remains inextricably linked to the individual or organization designated as the winner.

According to Norwegian media, politicians and academics in Oslo have described the move as 'unheard of' and a lack of respect for the institution. They also consider the acceptance of the gift by Trump as 'shameful'.
