Seth Meyers on Trump Winning Nobel Peace Prize: ‘Can You Just Give It to Him?’
Trump claims credit for ending 10 conflicts but Norwegian insiders say his lobbying harms his chances for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize.
- The Nobel Peace Prize winner will be announced on Friday, with President Donald Trump having actively lobbied to be named laureate this year.
- Trump's overt campaign, including direct appeals and public statements, has met widespread skepticism in Europe and concerns from critics in Norway that lobbying could be counterproductive.
- Norway’s Foreign Minister, Espen Barth Eide, reiterated that the Nobel committee operates independently, while committee deputy Asle Toje made clear that they disapprove of individuals who aggressively campaign or exert pressure to win the prize.
- Trump, now 79, has taken credit for resolving up to 10 conflicts and remarked that if he had Obama’s name, he would have been awarded the Nobel Prize instantly.
- Because the Nobel Peace Prize is determined by actions taken in 2024 and there is significant doubt among influential decision-makers, most observers expect that Trump is highly unlikely to win the award this week.
