US President Donald Trump says he deserves Nobel Peace Prize ahead of announcement

UPDATE - follow-up to Trump says he deserves Nobel Peace Prize ,but doubts he will get it: U.S. President Donald Trump said in the Oval Office on Wednesday that he should win the Nobel Peace Prize, though he doubts the Norwegian Nobel Committee will pick him when they announce the winner on Friday. Mr. Trump stated that failing to honour him would be a great discredit to the committee, adding that he has settled eight conflicts since taking office last January and done things no other president has ever done.

Nominations And Disputes

The leaders of Cambodia, Pakistan, and Israel have said they nominated Mr. Trump, though those claims cannot be verified. Critics and parties to some of those conflicts dispute his diplomatic role, and fighting has flared again in regions like the Democratic Republic of Congo and along the Cambodia-Thailand border. A resolution to the war in Ukraine has also eluded him, while U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran have led to a seven-month conflict affecting global energy supplies and gas prices ahead of November midterm elections.
