Does Trump's Nobel grudge mean a new policy on Norway?

At a rally in Port Huron, Michigan, Donald Trump said he didn't want anybody from Norway. He called the country a vulgar term he has also used for Haiti and Libya, and blamed the Nobel Peace Prize he never got from the Nobel committee.

The prize went this month to South African lawyer Navi Pillay, a woman Trump said nobody had heard of. He says he has settled at least 8 conflicts, and that is his case for the prize.

There is no sign yet of a new policy on Norwegian migrants. The Norwegian government says it has no role in the prize, because the committee in Oslo is independent. Norway's foreign ministry and the committee had not yet responded to requests for comment.
