WASHINGTON, D.C.: US President Donald Trump reveled Wednesday in his nomination by a right-wing Norwegian politician for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize. He unsuccessfully proposed Trump, along with another lawmaker, for the Nobel in 2018, citing his rapprochement with North Korea. He was there for about 15 seconds and he got the Nobel Prize,” Trump said last year. According to Tybring-Gjedde, Trump is more deserving than many past laureates for his role in breaking the impasse between Israel and an Arab regional power. In the past several of the five Nobel committee members that select the laureate have made negative remarks about Trump.
