The United States has publicly criticized the Nobel Committee! On October 11, the White House Communications Director stated that the Nobel Committee placed politics above peace, as the committee awarded its most prestigious prize to a Venezuelan democratic movement activist rather than U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump has openly expressed his desire to win this award, stating that he has made significant contributions to ending multiple global conflicts. He often mentioned this in public, including during his speech at the United Nations General Assembly in September.
However, the Nobel Committee has proven that they place politics above peace. It is obvious that the United States' statement is clearly a pressure on the Nobel Committee. Frankly speaking, Trump may be the first U.S. president who shamelessly reached out to the Nobel Committee for the Peace Prize. This act of seeking an award by leveraging American hegemony is truly placing politics above peace. If Trump were not the U.S. president, would the White House have specifically commented on this matter?
Don't forget that Trump once openly threatened Canada, saying he would turn it into the 51st state of America, and coveted Greenland in Denmark, and bombed Iran. What qualification does such a person have to receive the Nobel Peace Prize? In fact, although Trump did not start large-scale hot wars, he launched a tariff war against countries around the world. The world has become more hostile and divided because of Trump. Trump certainly does not deserve this award!
