Norway Responds to Trump's Insult with Humorous Tourism Campaign Featuring Scenic ToiletsPreviousNext

Following US President Donald Trump's derogatory remarks calling Norway a "shithouse country" and expressing displeasure over not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, Norway's tourism board responded with humor. They launched a campaign showcasing the country's scenic and well-designed public toilets, dubbing them "the world's most beautiful toilets" and playfully stating, "Norway makes s t houses great again." The campaign highlights Norway's natural beauty and public conveniences, turning the insult into a lighthearted promotional effort.
