Popular Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said she would nominate President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize if he manages to end the Russia-Ukraine war without forcing Ukraine to surrender any of its territory to Russia.
Clinton, who ran against Trump in the 2016 presidential election, made the statement while reacting to ongoing discussions about potential peace negotiations.
She stressed that such an achievement would require significant diplomatic skill and strength.
“He is not meeting with a friend. He is meeting with an adversary, and an adversary who wants to see the destruction of the United States and the Western alliance,” Clinton said on the podcast Raging Moderates.
Clinton explained her reasoning, saying Trump “could really stand up to Putin to make it clear there must be a ceasefire, there will be no exchange of territory, and that over a period of time, Putin should actually withdraw from the territory he seized in order to demonstrate good faith efforts.”
She added, “If President Trump were the architect of that, I’d nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize.”
Reacting to Clinton’s remarks, Trump told Fox News, “Well, that was very nice. I may have to start liking her again.”
