Trump pursues Nobel Prize and contacts Norwegian minister during walk

Former US President Donald Trump has once again shown interest in the Nobel Peace Prize, reportedly reaching out directly to a Norwegian minister while the latter was on a casual walk. According to local media, the call caught the minister by surprise, as Trump expressed his views on why he deserved the prestigious award.

Trump has long claimed that his foreign policy achievements, particularly in brokering agreements in the Middle East and other regions, make him a strong candidate for the honor. While details of the recent conversation have not been fully disclosed, it is believed that he reiterated his contributions and sought support for his case.

The incident has sparked curiosity and mixed reactions in Norway, with some viewing it as a bold move and others as an unusual approach to influencing the Nobel Committee’s decision-making process. The Nobel Peace Prize, awarded annually in Oslo, is known for its independence and strict selection procedures.
