Donald Trump picked up another nomination for Nobel Peace Prize after Finnish member of European Parliament called for the American president to receive honour.
Laura Huhtasaari, wrote to Nobel Committee to nominate Trump for 2021 prize “in recognition of his endeavours to end an era of endless wars, construct peace by encouraging conflicting parties for dialogue and negotiations, as well as underpin internal cohesion and stability of his country.”
Trump’s unofficial, unorthodox quest for the prize has benefited from the help of far-flung foreign allies — including an anti-immigrant Norwegian politician and an Australian law professor best known for pro-monarchy campaigns — who ensure that he is nominated time and again.
So far, Trump’s campaign for recognition in Oslo has earned him plenty of headlines but borne no other fruit.
Nobel trackers argue that the campaign of Trump and his supporters is doing him no favours. “Trump is so despised outside the U.S. that I cannot imagine the committee will spend any time on him at all,” Fredrik Heffermehl, a Norwegian peace activist, wrote in an email Thursday.
The U.S. presidents who have won the prize — Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama — did not make similar lobbying statements or seek the prize publicly, historians say.
