What to Know About the Nobel Peace Prize Trump Covets

US President Donald Trump has for years made it clear that he wants to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. After returning to office in January, he stepped up his campaign with aggressive lobbying both in public and behind closed doors.

“Everyone says I should get the Nobel Peace Prize,” he told the United Nations General Assembly in September. That same month, he said that not giving him the accolade would be a “big insult” to America.
