Trump Quest Falls Short as He Is Pass Overd by Nobel Committee for Peace Prize
President Donald Trump was passed over for the Nobel Peace Prize, a move he had hoped would be a recognition of his efforts to broker Middle East peace talks and other diplomatic initiatives. The prize committee instead awarded it to a trio of women who have worked to promote women's rights.
President Donald Trump was passed over for the Nobel Peace Prize, falling short of a bid he had been touting as a major achievement, despite efforts from Republicans and world leaders to secure his inclusion. The news comes after Trump had repeatedly claimed that winning the prize would be a 'tremendous honor' and had boasted about his potential selection. The decision not to award him the prize was made by a committee of Norwegian lawmakers who deliberate on the award annually. Trump's bid for the Nobel Peace Prize marked one of his most high-profile attempts at garnering international recognition since leaving office.
