- The Norwegian Nobel Committee and Nobel Institute reiterated that a Nobel Prize cannot be revoked, shared or transferred once awarded.
- The White House has not released a schedule or agenda for the expected visit, while Trump also reprised his disputed claim that he has stopped eight wars and criticized the Nobel process.
