The Nobel Peace Prize is therefore not awarded to Donald Trump. Even though he is endorsed by genocide suspect Benjamin Netanyahu and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. Speaking at a US military meeting in Virginia in September, Trump said it would be “a big insult to America” if he were not given the award.
According to Norwegian newspaper Dagens Naeringsliv, Trump also called Norway’s Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg — the former NATO chief — to discuss tariffs and lobby for the Nobel Peace Prize.
The Nobel Peace Prize, established under the will of Sweden’s Alfred Nobel, is given to “the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses”.
