Pompeo says Trump should receive the Nobel Peace Prize

Washington – Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Wednesday on Twitter that the president Donald Trump should receive the Nobel Peace Prize for promoting Arab-Israeli peace.

The suggestion of the highest American diplomat comes on the same day that the House of Representatives intends to vote on a possible accusation of Trump for inciting his supporters to storm the congressional headquarters a week ago.

Trump and many of his allies have made no secret of their desire to see him honored with the Nobel Peace Prize, which is one of the most distinguished awards in the world.

The campaign on his behalf has attracted attention, as promoting himself for the reward is considered indecent.

Pompeo posted a photo on Twitter of Trump waving from a White House balcony with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and senior officials from the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain and copied the Nobel committee.

The photo was taken in September last year, when Israel normalized relations with the Emirates and Bahrain under the so-called Abraham Accords, which were negotiated by Trump’s son-in-law and adviser, Jared Kushner. Since then, Morocco and Sudan have also agreed to recognize Israel.
