Trump should be ‘frontrunner’ for Nobel Peace Prize: O’Brien


National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien said Thursday that President Trump should be at the forefront of the Nobel Peace Prize because of his work in the Middle East and the agreement announced Thursday between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.

“If you come back and take a look at what this president has done on the peace front, and it would not surprise me, it will take some time in this environment, but it would not surprise me if the president finally nominates a Nobel Prize,” he said. said O’Brien during the White House press release.

“Today’s work is an example of why he should be rightly considered and a forerunner of the Nobel Peace Prize,” he added.

O’Brien noted Trump’s work to put pressure on Iran by pulling the US out of the nuclear deal, wiping out the Islamic State in the Middle East and cutting funding for terrorists in Yemen, Lebanon and Syria.

“And today we have the Abraham Accords … finally peace between the UAE and Israel,” O’Brien said.

“What I’m already saying is the president is often known as the greatest deal maker and he wrote the book ‘The Art of the Deal.’ He’s considered a great, great deal maker, which he is. But I think history will remind the President that he is a great peacemaker. ”
