一个不会加入该委员会，但将举办相关活动的国家是挪威。
美国总统在周四的委员会首次会议上宣布了挪威将主办巴勒斯坦援助会议的计划。然而，当他宣布挪威的计划时，他开了个关于获得诺贝尔和平奖的玩笑。
“我很兴奋地宣布，挪威已同意主办一场汇聚和平委员会的活动——哦，当我看到这张纸条时，我以为他们会说他们要给我诺贝尔和平奖。哦，这没那么令人兴奋，”特朗普打趣道。“哦，上面写着，‘我很兴奋地宣布挪威’，我想，‘哦，太好了，我要获得诺贝尔奖了。终于，终于，他们做对了。’但我不在乎，我不在乎诺贝尔奖。我关心的是拯救生命。”

特朗普曾多次获得该奖项提名，但均被宣布超过诺贝尔委员会的提名截止日期。最终，该奖项授予了当时流亡的委内瑞拉反对党领袖玛丽亚·科里娜·马查多。
在捕获委内瑞拉独裁者尼古拉斯·马杜罗后，马查多来到美国，会见了特朗普并向他颁发了诺贝尔和平奖。
“我向美国总统授予了奖章……诺贝尔和平奖，我告诉他，‘听着，200年前，拉法耶特将军给了西蒙·玻利瓦尔一枚印有乔治·华盛顿肖像的奖章，’”马查多在今年1月美国国会大厦发表讲话时说。“他一生都珍藏着那枚奖章。事实上，当你看到他的肖像时，你能看到那枚奖章。”
她说，拉法耶特将军将这枚奖章授予玻利瓦尔，象征着美国人民和委内瑞拉人民之间的伙伴关系，以及他们为自由反抗暴政的共同斗争。

特朗普周四晚上在Truth Social上感谢马查多颁发奖章。
“今天能见到来自委内瑞拉的玛丽亚·科里娜·马查多是我的巨大荣幸，”特朗普写道。“她是一位经历了很多的了不起的女性。玛丽亚向我颁发了诺贝尔和平奖，表彰我所做的工作。这是一个体现相互尊重的美妙举动。谢谢你，玛丽亚！”

挪威方面表示，其“坚决”反对加入和平委员会。据《以色列时报》报道，挪威将召集其临时联络委员会（AHCL）处理巴勒斯坦援助事宜。该媒体指出，挪威数十年来一直领导着该委员会，该委员会是在旨在结束以巴冲突的奥斯陆协议之后成立的。
挪威外交部发言人告诉《以色列时报》，挪威“仍然坚定”反对加入和平委员会。

President Donald Trump welcomed leaders from around the world on Thursday as he hosted the inaugural meeting of the Board of Peace in Washington, D.C.
One country that would not be joining the board, but will be hosting a related event is Norway.
The U.S. president announced the plan for Norway to host a meeting on Palestinian aid during the inaugural meeting of the board on Thursday. However, as he announced Norway’s plans, he joked about getting the Nobel Peace Prize.
“I’m excited to announce that Norway has agreed to host an event bringing together the Board of Peace — Oh, I thought when I saw this note, ‘I’m excited to announce that Norway,’ I thought they were going to say that they’re giving me the Nobel Prize. Oh, this is less exciting,” Trump quipped. “Oh, it says, ‘I’m excited to announce that Norway,’ and I’m saying, ‘Oh, great, I’m getting the Nobel Prize. Finally, finally, they got it right.’ But I don’t care, I don’t care about the Nobel Prize. I care about saving lives.”

Trump received several nominations for the prize. However, they were declared past the Nobel Committee’s nomination deadline. In the end, the award was given to then-exiled Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado.
Following the capture of Venezuela’s dictatorial leader Nicolás Maduro, Machado came to the U.S., where she met with Trump and presented him with her Nobel Peace Prize.
“I presented the President of the United States the medal… the Nobel Peace Prize, and I told him, ‘Listen to this, 200 years ago, General Lafayette gave Simón Bolívar a medal with George Washington’s face on it,’” Machado said while speaking at the U.S. Capitol in January. “He kept that medal for the rest of his life. Actually, when you see his portraits, you can see the medal.”
She said Lafayette gave the medal to Bolívar as a symbol of the partnership between the people of the U.S. and the people of Venezuela and their shared fight for freedom against tyranny.

Trump thanked Machado for the medal in a post on Truth Social on Thursday evening.
“It was my Great Honor to meet María Corina Machado, of Venezuela, today,” Trump wrote. “She is a wonderful woman who has been through so much. María presented me with her Nobel Peace Prize for the work I have done. Such a wonderful gesture of mutual respect. Thank you María!”

Norway has said that it would not join the Board of Peace. However, it is set to convene its Ad-Hoc Liaison Committee (AHCL) for Palestinian aid, according to The Times of Israel. The outlet noted that Norway has led the AHCL for decades, as it was established in the wake of the Oslo Accords, which were also aimed at ending the Israel-Hamas conflict.
A spokesperson for the Norwegian Foreign Ministry told The Times of Israel that Norway “remains firm” in its position against joining the Board of Peace.
