Nobel Committee Rejects Trump’s Peace Prize Bid, Fuels Derangement Claims
The chair of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, Jørgen Watne Frydnes, addressed Donald Trump’s attempts to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. The committee awarded the prize to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, prompting responses from the White House and Trump supporters. Frydnes stated that the committee bases its decisions solely on Alfred Nobel’s will, despite the many campaigns for the award. Trump had previously boasted about his peacemaking efforts and expressed his disappointment with the committee’s decision, as well as comparing his lack of a prize to former President Obama’s early win.
