I stopped eight wars, but did I get a Nobel Prize? - Trump hopeful 'next year will be better': Video
U.S. President Donald Trump has once again taken aim at the Nobel Peace Prize committee, saying he should have received the award for “stopping wars” during his time in office.
Speaking at a dinner event in Washington on Wednesday, October 15, Trump told the audience he had “stopped eight wars in eight months” but was never recognised for it.
His comments came shortly after Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado was awarded this year’s Nobel Peace Prize. The Norwegian committee said it was honouring her for her “tireless work promoting democratic rights” and her “struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”
Trump has long argued he was unfairly overlooked for the Nobel Peace Prize, pointing to his administration’s role in brokering the Abraham Accords between Israel and several Arab states, and his direct diplomacy with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un.
