Tybring-Gjedde said that Trump has done more for peace than numerous holders of the coveted award. “For his merit, I think he has done more trying to create peace between nations than most other Peace Prize nominees,"Tybring-Gjedde toldFox News.
“This peace deal is a testament to the bold diplomacy and vision of President Trump, and he is honored to be considered by the Nobel Committee. President Trump will host the Israeli and Emirati delegations for a signing ceremony of the Abraham Accords on September 15 at the White House”, White House statement further said.
President Trump had earlier claimed that he was robbed of the Nobel Peace Prize.
During a rally in Toledo, Ohio, in January 2020,Trump hadsaid he deserved the prize which was earlier awarded to Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. “I made a deal, I saved a country, and I just heard that the head of that country is now getting the Nobel Peace Prize for saving the country. I said, ‘What, did I have something do with it?'” Trump claimed.
Abiy received the peace prize for ending Ethiopian border conflict with neighbouring Eritrea, which was settled in 2018.
Earlier, allies of the US president had said that Trump deserves the Nobel Prize for his negotiations with North Korea. Trump had also complained about his predecessor, President Barack Obama receiving the coveted award.
