Trump Nominated For Nobel Peace Prize by dimejiamuda: 9:22am On Sep 10, 2020
US president, Donald Trump may be heading for a Nobel prize as reports have it that he has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize due to his role in brokering a peace deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.

Fox News reported that Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a member of the Norwegian Parliament and chairman of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly submitted the nomination.

Since the deal was made public, Israel signaled that it is willing to explore business opportunities with the UAE, specifically in the areas of commercial space and high tech.

Trump was reported to have complained about the prize, noting that his predecessor, Barack Obama, had won it.

“They gave it to Obama. He didn’t even know what he got it for. He was there for about 15 seconds and he got the Nobel Prize. He said, ‘Oh, what did I get it for?’” Trump said in February 2019.
