She could be forced to eat her words one day…
Former Secretary of State and longtime Trump rival Hillary Clinton said that if President Trump managed to succeed in his long-shot effort to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine even she would support him to win the Nobel Peace prize.
The comments come as Trump pushes for a peace deal potentially brokered with land swaps and security guarantees and is set to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday.
Trump told reporters he envisions a second high-level meeting involving Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the future.
Speaking on Fox News co-host Jessica Tarlov’s Raging Moderates podcast, the former secretary of state and veteran Democrat said:
Honestly, if he could bring about the end to this terrible war… if he could end it without putting Ukraine in a position where it had to concede its territory to the aggressor… could really stand up to Putin, something we haven’t seen, but maybe this is the opportunity… If President Trump were the architect of that, I’d nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize. Because my goal here is to not allow capitulation to Putin.
However, a deal is far from secure. Politico reports that Russia and Ukraine remain “nowhere close” to an agreement.
Trump, who has boasted of being the “president of peace” has long expressed desires to be nominated for the prize, which has been awarded to U.S. presidents in the past – including Barack Obama. However, the President has cast doubt he would ever be awarded the honor.
In July, White House trade adviser Peter Navarro nominated Trump for the prize.
Appearing on Fox Business, Navarro praised Trump’s unwavering commitment to putting America first at the negotiating table:
“Since President Trump has essentially taught the world trade economics, he might be up for the Nobel on economics. This is a fundamental restructuring of the international trade environment. The largest market in the world has drawn a line: you will not cheat us anymore,” Navarro said.
Under Trump’s leadership, the United States has replaced decades of bad deals with fair and reciprocal agreements. Tariffs — dismissed by critics — have functioned as tax cuts for the American economy, and inflation has stayed under control.
