US President Donald Trump Expresses Strong Frustration Over Missing Out on Nobel Peace Prize; Claims Stopping Pakistan-India Conflict Alone Was Enough to Secure Eight Awards
WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump of the United States is so frustrated and angry that he isn’t the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, he boldly claims he should be awarded eight instead of one.
President Trump has expressed his complaints on social media, stating that he had managed to end eight separate international conflicts, and that big crises such as the war between Russia and Ukraine and tensions with Iran have been brought close to peaceful resolution.
The key points in President Trump’s speech:
In line with his previous efforts to keep Pakistan and India stable, Trump has stated that a measure of peace between the two nations was sufficient to win the Nobel Peace Prize, in the context of Pakistan-India Ceasefire.
Broader Claims on Global Peace: The US president said that he was able to defend Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and save the Middle East from total devastation, asserting that no one had done more than him in history to save human lives.
Trump’s criticism of the Nobel Committee: He directed criticism at the recipient of the peace prize, asking about the major achievement that the “peace leader” has made, pointing to her views on Israel. He also said that opposition leader Maria Corina was earlier saying that he was the most deserving candidate for the award.
