Washington made the request following the historic summit with North Korea in Singapore.
Turns out President Donald Trump wasn’t lying about being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe did indeed put Trump’s name forward for the coveted prize last year. But it turns out he did so only after the White House “informally” asked Abe’s administration to nominate Trump following his historic meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un in Singapore, according to Japanese newspaper Asahi.
The confirmation comes after Trump surprised many by revealing on Friday that Abe had nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize.
