THE efforts of Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un to reach an agreement at the Singapore summit could see one - or even both - of the leaders lift the coveted Nobel Peace Prize 2018. The pair signed the agreement after a working lunch on June 11 with Trump saying the denuclearisation process would begin "very, very quickly". Could Donald Trump win the Nobel Peace Prize 2018? It is certainly a possibility as the US President was formally nominated for the award in May this year.

However the committee has revealed there are currently 330 individuals and organisations in the running already although the list of nominees is kept secret. The award is handed out in December.

Donald Trump loves winning and he just won bigly in Singapore by taming Kim Jong-un… perhaps The Donald should get the peace prize
DONALD J Trump loves winning. It’s all that matters to him. And he’s just won in Singapore ... BIGLY. The Donald has brought Kim Jong-un, arguably the most dangerous man on the planet, in from the cold. In doing so, he has reduced the chances of Armageddon on the Korean Peninsula. He probably still won’t win the Nobel Peace Prize. But perhaps he should. For now, Kim Jong-un, supposedly the most obstinate dictator on earth seems to have rolled over quite quickly. In return for national security guarantees, he has committed to "his firm and unwavering commitment to complete denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula". In the press conference this morning, Trump confirmed America will stop practising war games in the region, will not impose more sanctions on Pyongyang, and he has invited Kim to the White House. But Kim, Trump insisted, will begin to de-nuke and that process will be thoroughly verified by international inspectors. It’s only a start, of course.

Delingpole: Trump Just Became the Nobel Peace Prize Committee’s Worst Nightmare
President Trump just became the Nobel Peace Prize committee’s worst nightmare. As he didn’t neglect to remind us in his hilarious post North Korea summit press conference, President Trump just saved maybe 30 million people from nuclear annihilation. He did what his predecessors considered impossible and what the liberal media and all the “experts” continue to assure us can never be done: he brought peace to the region which up till now was considered the likeliest ground zero for World War III.In other words, pretty much, President Trump just saved the world. Beat that Barack Obama! Suck on this, all you liberal MSM and NeverTrumpers! Who’s the boss now, President Xi Ping of China? Remind me what your name was again, Prime Minister – Bieber, is it? – of Canada. How are you going to wriggle out of this one, all you buttoned up bien-pensants at the Nobel Prize academy? These were just of the few things President Trump didn’t actually say at … [Read more...] about Delingpole: Trump Just Became the Nobel Peace Prize Committee’s Worst Nightmare
