Trump says he deserves Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts on Syria and North Korea
US President Donald Trump made the case on Friday that he deserves to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work on North Korea and Syria, but complained he probably would never get the honour, Reuters reported.
"They gave it to Obama. He didn't even know what he got it for. He was there for about 15 seconds and he got the Nobel Prize. He said, 'Oh, what did I get it for?'" Trump grumbled.
"With me, I probably will never get it."
Trump claimed he saved three million people living in Syria's rebel-held Idlib region from being killed after he warned Russia, Iran and the Syrian government against a planned offensive.
"Nobody talks about that," he complained.
