Thought for the day
"In February this year [2025], during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, he said: "They will never give me a Nobel Peace Prize. I deserve it, but they will never give it to me."In July, Mr Netanyahu revealed he had nominated Mr Trump, and said he was "forging peace as we speak" in "one country and one region after the other".In New York at the UN General Assembly, after making his seven wars claim, Mr Trump said that "everyone says that I should get the Nobel Peace Prize".His team has also added to calls for him being awarded the prize, with his press secretary Karoline Leavitt mentioning it at several White House briefings, describing him as the "peace president" and saying it is "well past time".After Ms Machado was announced as the 2025 winner, The White House criticised the Nobel committee's decision."President Trump will continue making peace deals, ending wars, and saving lives. He has the heart of a humanitarian, and there will never be anyone like him who can move mountains with the sheer force of his will," spokesman Steven Cheung said in a post on X." (BBC 26/10/25)
