Washington, D.C. — A sensational claim circulating on social media suggesting that former U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to bomb Norway if he wasn’t awarded the Nobel Peace Prize has been thoroughly debunked by fact-checkers and officials.📢 Rumor vs. RealityThe viral post, which gained traction in fringe online circles, falsely attributes aggressive remarks to Trump regarding Norway’s involvement in the Nobel Peace Prize committee. There is no record or credible report of Trump making such a statement, and no official source has supported the claim.“This rumor is not just misleading — it’s a complete fabrication with no factual basis,” said Angela Lewis, a spokesperson for the Scandinavian Security Council. “We urge the public to rely on verified news sources.”🕵️ Fact-Checking in Action- Major U.S. and European news outlets have found no evidence to support the claim.- Officials in Oslo confirmed they have received no such communication or threat from any U.S. representative.- Trump has previously expressed frustration over not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, but there is no indication those comments escalated into threats.🌐 Disinformation ConcernsExperts warn that such rumors can undermine diplomatic relations and fuel unnecessary tensions. Social media platforms are being urged to curb the spread of disinformation, especially involving high-profile figures and sensitive international topics.
