Leavitt Says From White House Podium It’s ‘Well Past Time Trump Was Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize’

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says it’s “well past time” President Donald Trump was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize as she listed peace deals he’s helped broker since taking office in January.

“The president has now ended conflicts between Thailand and Cambodia, Israel and Iran, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, India and Pakistan, Serbia and Kosovo, and Egypt and Ethiopia,” Leavitt told reporters during the White House press briefing on Thursday. “This means President Trump has brokered, on average, about one peace deal or ceasefire per month during his six months in office. It’s well past time that President Trump was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize

Leavitt’s announcement came two days after Trump was lauded by local officials for his role in ending the conflict between Thailand and Cambodia.

Read Leavitt’s statement below:

On the peace front, President Trump helped deliver an immediate and unconditional ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia. The two countries were engaged in a deadly conflict that had displaced more than 300,000 people until President Trump stepped in to put an end to it. The president spoke directly on the phone with the acting prime minister of Thailand and the prime minister of Cambodia to inform both leaders that unless they brought their conflict to an end, there would be no trade discussions or agreements with the United States.

Almost immediately afterward, a peace was brokered that will save thousands of lives and allow for trade negotiations with these countries to resume and they have. The president has now ended conflicts between Thailand and Cambodia, Israel and Iran, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, India and Pakistan, Serbia and Kosovo, and Egypt and Ethiopia. This means President Trump has brokered, on average, about one peace deal or ceasefire per month during his six months in office. It’s well past time that President Trump was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Leavitt made a similar declaration earlier this month when she posted, “Trump deserves Nobel Peace Prize. He’s achieved more than those who’ve won before” on social media, linking to a USA Today op-ed with the same title. Trump has long coveted the Nobel Peace Prize, which former President Barack Obama won in 2009.

Leavitt is not the only one who believes Trump should receive the Nobel Peace Prize. Earlier this month, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented Trump with a letter the Israeli PM had written to the Nobel Prize committee, nominating the president for the award.
