Will be interesting to see how this plays out. Trump should wait till 2026 if the prize is awarded for work the year before.
Quote:
Nobody has campaigned for a Nobel Peace Prize quite like Donald Trump.
The US president has been brazen and unrelenting in his quest for one of the world’s most prestigious honours, saying it would be a “big insult” were he not to receive it.
But experts are sceptical about the unprecedented lobbying campaign bearing fruit when the Norwegian Nobel Committee awards it on Friday. The reasons range from Trump’s own behaviour at home and abroad to the fact that the prize is meant to honour actions in 2024 — when he was elected but not yet in office.
“Putting pressure on the committee, going on talking about ‘I need the prize, I’m the worthy candidate’ — it’s not a very peaceful approach,” said Nina Græger, director of the Peace Research Institute Oslo.
