Trump says he deserves Nobel Peace Prize but doubts he will win

publishers 29articles 32first reported 7 Oct, 06:30 UTCdeveloping since 7 Oct · 22 editions

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, while expressing doubt that the Norwegian Nobel Committee will select him when it announces the 2026 award on Friday.

“I don’t know what their decision is going to be,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “They have a reputation for maybe not giving it to people like me.” He added: “It is about that time.”

Trump has repeatedly argued that his diplomatic record merits the prize. Yahoo reported that he claimed to have settled eight wars and prevented “global obliteration.” He also referred Wednesday to the prize recipient, saying he was “very honoured to receive it indirectly” after the recipient said that no one in history deserved it more than Trump.

The South China Morning Post noted that Trump has waged war with Iran and has not brokered peace between Russia and Ukraine. The Independent listed other possible contenders, including the pope and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, while the New York Post reported that the White House was preparing for another possible snub.

WHAT THE EDITOR DID

The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.

WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: The story needs a few details narrowed to match the source wording without adding unsupported specifics. - "Trump said Wednesday that he deserves the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize": The sources say Trump said he should win or deserves the Nobel Peace Prize; they do not quote him saying he deserves the 2026 prize specifically. - "when it announces the award on Friday": This wording implies the committee will announce Trump as the recipient or announce the specific award referenced; the source says the committee will announce the 2026 award on Friday. - "He also referred Wednesday to the previous prize recipient, saying he was “very honoured to receive it indirectly” after the recipient said that no one in history deserved it more than Trump.": The source does not identify the person as the previous prize recipient; it says only “the recipient,” so “previous prize recipient” is unsupported.
