With the unthinkable now cautiously possible, peace between North and
South Korea, speculation about President Donald Trump becoming a Nobel
Peace Prize winner has begun. If peace in the Korean Peninsula truly
happens, the Nobel committee could be left with a difficult choice
regarding Trump’s candidacy.
Recognizing those who helped bring peace to the region would seem like an easy choice, but a decision to give Trump the award could force the Nobel Prize committee into a fierce political debate on whether a man who has openly mocked foreign leaders, launched multiple airstrikes and has threatened war, deserves an award for peace.
But, if the reconciliation happens, how could Trump’s apparent achievement not be recognized? Donald Trump Jr. said regardless of what unfolds, his father won’t get the credit. “Remember who decides this stuff,” he tweeted. “... The globalist elite would never give him that win.”
Note EU-Digest: Let us not go overboard or jump to conclusions on this one. The meeting between the US and North Korean leaders has not had taken place yet, and "one meeting is a step in the right direction, but does not mean peace has been achieved". Regardless, the person who should get the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts is really the PM of South Korea, Lee Nak-yeo, who organized this upcoming meeting meeting and already held a meeting with the North Korean leader.
