Amid ongoing conflicts, particularly in Ukraine and Gaza, administration officials are increasingly discussing the possibility of Donald Trump receiving a Nobel Prize for his diplomatic efforts. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and others have voiced their belief that Trump deserves the prestigious recognition, contingent on his success in ending the fighting. However, Trump's controversial actions, including a recent heated meeting with Ukraine's President Zelensky, complicate his chances. Despite his aspirations for the prize, Trump remains skeptical about the committee's impartiality due to past grievances concerning previous awardees like Obama.
"If it were fairly awarded, I think in a year, he should get it from what I've seen," Bessent said.
"By the end of this all, we're going to have the Nobel Prize sitting next to the name of Donald J. Trump," Waltz said.
"Reality check: Trump's ability to win a Nobel will hinge ... on whether he can end the fighting in Ukraine."
"Trump long for the validation of a Nobel prize, but even before Friday's televised melee he doubted the committee would ever give him one."
