Trump: ‘Very nice' of Hillary Clinton to float him for Nobel Peace Prize
President Trump expressed gratitude that former first lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had floated him for a Nobel Peace Prize if he were able to successfully negotiate an end to the war between Russia and Ukraine. 'If he could end it without putting Ukraine in a position where it had to concede its territory to the aggressor, had to, in a way, validate Putin's vision of greater Russia, but instead could really stand up to Putin, to make it clear there must be a ceasefire,' Clinton said during a recent episode of the 'Raging Moderates' podcast. 'If President Trump were the architect of that, I'd nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize,' she said. Trump was asked for his reaction to those comments on Friday aboard Air Force One by Fox News anchor Bret Baier, who was traveling with the president to Alaska ahead of his high-stakes meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. 'That's very nice,' Trump responded. 'I might have to start liking her again.' Trump's meeting with Putin comes as he works to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine, which he promised to do along the campaign trail last year. The president said earlier Friday he was prepared to 'walk away' from Friday's meeting with the Russian leader if Putin would not agree to terms Trump agrees with.

Hillary Clinton: ‘I'd nominate' Trump for Peace Prize if he ends Russia-Ukraine war
As President Trump meets with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the hopes of ending the war in Ukraine, his long-held dream of nabbing a Nobel Peace Prize has an unlikely supporter: former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. In a recent podcast appearance, Clinton said she would support Trump for the coveted prize if he were able to negotiate an end to the more than three-year-long war that sufficiently repudiates Putin and his claims to Ukrainian territory. 'If he could end it without putting Ukraine in a position where it had to concede its territory to the aggressor, had to, in a way, validate Putin's vision of greater Russia, but instead could really stand up to Putin, to make it clear there must be a ceasefire,' she told 'Raging Moderates' co-host Jessica Tarlov. 'If President Trump were the architect of that, I'd nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize,' Clinton added. Trump has increasingly campaigned to receive the prize — which was awarded to former President Obama in 2009 — for his work in a variety of conflicts including facilitating a ceasefire between India and Pakistan in May. He also reportedly called the prime minister of Norway last month to ask about his nomination, Norwegian press reported. The president has already garnered nominations from Pakistan, Cambodia, Israel, administration officials and GOP lawmakers as he touts his role in talks to end various global conflicts. The Friday summit at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska, is the first time the U.S. and Russian leaders have convened face-to-face since Trump's first term. The president reassured European leaders earlier this week that he would not negotiate specific territorial swaps during the meeting. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who will not be at the summit, has pushed back against any talk of ceding land to Moscow. Clinton was serving in the State Department when Putin returned to power in 2012 after a 4-year gap.

Hillary Clinton admits she would nominate Trump for Nobel Peace Prize if he helps end war in Ukraine
President Trump got teased Friday with a Nobel Peace Prize nomination from the most unlikely source — one of his most bitter rivals, Hillary Clinton. Trump's failed Democratic opponent told the 'Raging Moderates' podcast that she would willingly nominate him for the illustrious prize if he can bring an end to the war in Ukraine without allowing President Vladimir Putin to take territory from its neighbor. 'Honestly, if he could bring about the end to this terrible war, if he could end it without putting Ukraine in a position where it had to concede its territory to the aggressor, could really stand up to Putin — something we haven't seen, but maybe this is the opportunity — if President Trump were the architect of that, I'd nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize,' Clinton told podcast interviewer Jessica Tarlov in an interview released Friday. 3 if President Trump were the architect' of ending the war 'I'd nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize,' Hillary Clinton said.
