WASHINGTON - US President Donald Trump reveled Wednesday in his nomination by a right-wing Norwegian politician for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize.
"Thank you!" he said in one of a flurry of tweets and retweets celebrating the nomination, which cited Trump's role in brokering an agreement to normalize relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.
That spectacular attempt at breaking the US standoff with the isolated, nuclear-armed dictatorship has since lost momentum.The Norwegian Nobel Institute welcomes all proposed names, as long as they are sent in by January 31 for the year in question and are submitted by those eligible to nominate -- which includes members of the country's parliament.
According to Tybring-Gjedde, Trump is more deserving than many past laureates for his role in breaking the impasse between Israel and an Arab regional power.
