Trump says he deserves Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts on Syria and North Korea, but complains he'll never get it
US President Donald Trump claimed he saved three million people living in Syria's rebel-held Idlib region from being killed after he warned Russia, Iran and the Syrian government against a planned offensive.
WASHINGTON (REUTERS) - US President Donald Trump made the case on Friday (Feb 15) that he deserves to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work on North Korea and Syria, but complained he probably would never get the honour.
Trump, a Republican, capped off a rambling Rose Garden news conference with a well-oiled gripe that former Democratic president Barack Obama, a nemesis, won the Nobel Prize in 2009, just months into his first term in office.
"They gave it to Obama. He didn't even know what he got it for. He was there for about 15 seconds and he got the Nobel Prize. He said, 'Oh, what did I get it for?'" Trump grumbled.
