Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she would nominate President Donald Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize if he ends the war in Ukraine.
“I understand that [Trump] would very much like to win the Nobel Peace Prize,” Clinton told “Raging Moderates” podcast host Jessica Tarlov. “And honestly, if he could bring about the end to this terrible war where Putin is the aggressor invading a neighbor country [and] trying to change the borders, if he could end it without putting Ukraine in a position where it had to concede its territory to the aggressor [or] had to, in a way, validate Putin’s vision of greater Russia, but instead could really stand up to Putin…which is something we haven’t seen, but maybe this is the opportunity — to make it clear that there must be a ceasefire, there will be no exchange of territory, and the over a period of overtime, Putin should be actually withdrawing from the territory he seized in order to demonstrate his good faith efforts not to threaten European security.”
“If President Trump were the architect of that, I’d nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize,” she said.
Trump has received several nominations for a Nobel Peace Prize, including by Cambodia, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA).
“I write to formally nominate Donald J. Trump, the 47th President of the United States, for the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of his extraordinary and historic role in brokering an end to the armed conflict between Israel and Iran and preventing the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism from obtaining the most lethal weapon on the planet,” Carter wrote in a June letter to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee.
