Hillary Clinton Says SHE Would Back Trump for Nobel Peace Prize If He Pulls Off Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal

Hillary Clinton, once President Donald Trump’s fiercest political rival, offered him an unlikely endorsement by saying even she would back his nomination for a Nobel Peace Prize if he can pull off a lasting end to the war in Ukraine without “capitulation” to Russia.

The comments come as Trump pushes for a peace deal potentially brokered with land swaps and security guarantees and is set to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday.

Trump told reporters he envisions a second high-level meeting involving Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Speaking on Fox News co-host Jessica Tarlov’s Raging Moderates podcast, the former secretary of state and veteran Democrat said:

Honestly, if he could bring about the end to this terrible war… if he could end it without putting Ukraine in a position where it had to concede its territory to the aggressor… could really stand up to Putin, something we haven’t seen, but maybe this is the opportunity… If President Trump were the architect of that, I’d nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize. Because my goal here is to not allow capitulation to Putin.

But such a deal is far from secure. Politico reports that Russia and Ukraine remain “nowhere close” to an agreement.

Trump, who has boasted of being the “president of peace” has long expressed desires to be nominated for the prize, which has been awarded to U.S. presidents in the past – including Barack Obama.

For now, Clinton’s unlikely endorsement remains hypothetical, hinging on a diplomatic breakthrough.
