President Donald Trump has long craved a Nobel Peace Prize and has bemoaned that President Barack Obama was awarded the honor, but he has never won. Now, it appears, the White House is campaigning for the President to receive, not one but two Nobels one for peace, and one for economics.
In a rant during Thursdays White House briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt tried to make the case, rattling off a list of his supposed successes.
President Trump helped deliver an immediate and unconditional ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia. The two countries were engaged in a deadly conflict that had displaced more than 300,000 people until President Trump stepped in to put an end to it, she claimed, appearing to imply that his involvement alone halted the hostilities.
The president spoke directly on the phone with the acting Prime Minister of Thailand and the prime minister of Cambodia to inform both leaders that unless they brought their conflict to an end, there would be no trade discussions or agreements with the United States, she continued. Almost immediately afterward, a peace was brokered that will save thousands of lives and allowed for trade negotiations with these countries to resume, and they have.
The president has now ended conflicts between Thailand and Cambodia, Israel and Iran, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, India and Pakistan, Serbia and Kosovo, and Egypt and Ethiopia, Leavitt claimedcrediting Trump with a sweeping series of diplomatic breakthroughs.
