Donald Trump's desire to obtain a Nobel Peace Prize led to an unexpected call to Norway's finance minister, against a backdrop of growing criticism of his economic decisions.
Trump's Unexpected Call
Donald Trump unexpectedly called Norwegian Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg to inquire how he could be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. This call caught Stoltenberg by surprise as he was walking the streets of Oslo.
Economic Criticism of Trump
Despite his quest for the Nobel Prize, many economists criticize Trump's economic legacy. At the Nobel Laureates meeting in Lindau, Joseph Stiglitz described the U.S. under Trump as 'a scary place to invest,' pointing to the president's tariff policies as a core problem.
Unexpected Support from Hillary Clinton
In a surprising twist, Trump received unexpected feedback from Hillary Clinton. In a recent interview, she stated that if Trump could end the Ukraine-Russia war without Ukraine conceding territory, she would nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize.
Trump's interest in the Nobel Peace Prize and the criticism of his economic policies continue to attract attention. Meanwhile, unexpected support from a political opponent highlights the complexity of the current political landscape.
