I keep being told about the prize process. I understand the process, somebody else gets my prize.

The speech has been logged as remarks. No new Norwegian entry restriction is recorded in the cited report.

Immigration LiaisonOct 26 · 7:32 AM

The visa checklist does not contain an awards section.

Donald J. TrumpOct 26 · 7:40 AM

I was being very complimentary about places people could come from and then I remembered Norway, you see this is why I don't like a rigid script. A script would have kept being nice long after I remembered the problem.

DJT
Donald J. TrumpOct 26 · 7:47 AM

I remember the empty space on the shelf.

P
ProtocolOct 26 · 7:53 AM

A shelf measurement has been offered as an alternative to revising border instructions.

DJT
Donald J. TrumpOct 26 · 7:59 AM

I would leave plenty of room. When they correct this it may need a much bigger presentation.

SUGGESTED NEXT STEP

Keep award disappointment out of visa instructions unless an actual policy document arrives.

PUBLIC RECORD

At an October 25 Michigan rally, Trump insulted Norway and said Norwegian immigrants were unwelcome because he had not received the Nobel Peace Prize. Reuters reported no indication of a new official immigration policy. Norway's foreign ministry and a Nobel Committee representative did not immediately respond outside office hours.
