Nobel Committee Chair Jørgen Watne Frydnes tried to justify not giving the Nobel Peace Prize award to President Trump.
Not Nobel enough?
The head of the Nobel Peace Prize tried to justify not giving the award to President Trump early Friday — subtly suggesting the commander in chief was not worthy of the illustrious award despite his historic breakthroughs seeking the end of the Israel-Hamas war.
Nobel Committee Chair Jørgen Watne Frydnes was asked about the clamor to give the prize to Trump, who had said it would be an insult to the US not to award it to him.
But instead of blaming the timing — the decision was made Monday, days before the peace deal was struck — Frydnes suggested that a last-minute switch wasn’t made because the US leader doesn’t live up to it.
