US President Donald Trump has suggested that denying him the Nobel Peace Prize would amount to an insult to the United States.
Speaking to top military brass in Quantico, Virginia, on Tuesday, Trump said he has repeatedly been overlooked for the award, even though he believes his record qualifies him.
The president pointed to his latest Middle East peace plan, claiming it was the eighth conflict he has helped resolve in as many months.
“We’ll have eight, eight in eight months… Will you get the Nobel Prize? Absolutely not,” he said, before adding, “They’ll give it to some guy that didn’t do a damn thing.”
