Hillary Clinton Would Nominate Trump For Nobel Peace Prize If He Did This One Thing
Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she would nominate President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize if he managed to pull off an extremely challenging feat. Speaking to the Raging Moderates podcast on Wednesday, two days ahead of Trump's meeting with the Russian president in Anchorage, Alaska, Clinton spoke about the hastily organized summit, making the case to Trump that he has nothing to gain 'by capitulating to Putin.' 'I would not be [meeting with Putin], but I think we have to deal with the reality that we have,' she said. Clinton said she was aware of Trump's fixation with getting the Nobel Peace Prize and even went as far as to say she would nominate her 2016 presidential election rival for the award if he managed to secure a fair deal to end the war in Ukraine. Clinton said the Alaska summit may be an opportunity for Trump to make it clear to Putin 'that there must be a ceasefire, there will be no exchange of territory [between Russia and Ukraine], and that, over a period of time, Putin should be actually withdrawing from the territory he seized in order to demonstrate his good faith efforts, let us say, not to threaten European security.' 'If President Trump were the architect of that, I'd nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize, because my goal here is to not allow capitulation to Putin aided and abetted by the United States,' she told co-host Jessica Tarlov. The prize is ranking high on Trump's mind as the US president reportedly told Norway Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg last month that he wanted the Nobel Peace Prize, according to Norwegian newspaper Dagens Naeringsliv. The honor is bestowed by a five-member committee appointed by the country's parliament. Some countries, including Israel, have already nominated Trump for the prize. Meanwhile, Clinton reminded Trump that Putin's ultimate goal is to destroy the US and the Western alliance, adding that the US president needs to take his 'rose-colored glasses' off and see the former KGB agent for what he is. Trump 'is not meeting with a friend, he is meeting with an adversary and an adversary who hopes to play them,' Clinton said. 'And the best thing that could come out of this, frankly, is probably nothing, nothing agreed to except a real strengthening of President Trump's understanding that Putin is not someone you can make a deal with and expect it to last.' Still, Trump seems confident that he will manage to get Putin to agree to end the three-year conflict despite zero evidence to suggest the Russian president is ready to make any concessions required to make that happen. 'I think President Putin will make peace,' he said Thursday.

Trump told Norwegian minister he wants Nobel Prize, newspaper says, World News
OSLO — When US President Donald Trump called Norway's finance minister last month to discuss tariffs, he also told him he wanted the Nobel Peace Prize, Norwegian business daily Dagens Naeringsliv reported on Thursday (Aug 14). Several countries including Israel, Pakistan and Cambodia have nominated Trump for brokering peace agreements or ceasefires, and he has said he deserves the Norwegian-bestowed accolade that four White House predecessors received. "Out of the blue, while Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg was walking down the street in Oslo, Donald Trump called," Dagens Naeringsliv reported, citing unnamed sources. "He wanted the Nobel Prize — and to discuss tariffs." In a comment to Reuters, Stoltenberg said the call was to discuss tariffs and economic co-operation ahead of Trump's call with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Stoere. "I will not go into further detail about the content of the conversation," he added. Several White House officials, including US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer were on the call, Stoltenberg added. The White House and the Norwegian Nobel Committee did not reply to requests for comment. With hundreds of candidates nominated each year, laureates are chosen by the Norwegian Nobel Committee, whose five members are appointed by Norway's parliament according to the will of Swedish 19th-century industrialist Alfred Nobel. The announcement comes in October in Oslo. The Norwegian newspaper said it was not the first time Trump had brought up the prize in conversation with Stoltenberg, a former secretary general of the Nato military alliance. The White House on July 31 announced a 15 per cent tariff on imports from Norway, the same as the European Union. Stoltenberg said on Wednesday that Norway and the United States were still in talks regarding the tariffs. [[nid:721092]]
