Trump discusses Nobel Peace Prize with Norway's finance minister – Politico

Politico confirmed the information about the call through an official in Oslo.

"It is true that President Trump called me a few days before his conversation with Prime Minister Støre. Several of the president's staff members also participated in the conversation, including Treasury Secretary Bessent and Trade Representative Greer," Stoltenberg told the outlet.

According to the minister, he and Trump discussed tariffs and economic cooperation. However, Stoltenberg did not disclose details of the conversation.

Trump nominated for Nobel Peace Prize

Back in March, we reported that US President Donald Trump was to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. The reason for this is the White House leader's peace efforts in the Middle East.

The Hill notes that Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize multiple times, but has never won this coveted award.

In February 2019, Donald Trump stated that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe had nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to reach a peace agreement with North Korea.

In January of this year, US Representative Claudia Tenney announced that she had nominated Trump for his mediating role in concluding the historic Abraham Accords during his first presidential term.

Some observers believe that Trump's desire to broker a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine is partly driven by his wish to get another chance at the Nobel Peace Prize.

Each year the Norwegian Nobel Committee invites specific qualified individuals to submit nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize. The Nobel Foundation Statutes define those entitled to propose nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize. These include:

• current and former members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, as well as advisers appointed by the Nobel Institute;

• members of national parliaments and governments of various countries, as well as members of the Inter-Parliamentary Union;

• members of the International Court of Arbitration in The Hague;

• members of the Commission of the Permanent International Peace Bureau;

• members and associate members of the Detroit International Institute;

• university professors in political science, law, history, and philosophy;

• Nobel Peace Prize laureates.
