Witkoff to Trump: You Are The Single Finest Candidate For The Nobel Prize. I Hope One Day Everybody Realizes That
At today’s cabinet meeting, special envoy Steve Witkoff argued that President Donald Trump should be considered for the Nobel Peace Prize, urging the Nobel Committee to recognize his efforts.
STEVE WITKOFF: Mr. President, working for this government, for you, is the greatest honor of my life. I tell it to everybody, and I really do feel that way, and I thank you because it’s a privilege to go out there and represent you in your humanitarian effort, in your goals of solving conflicts all over the world. I think there were actually more than seven conflicts that you put to bed in the last eight months. And I hear these, I travel all over the world. In hostage square, they talk about you reverentially. It’s really quite amazing. I sometimes wish that I had a cam recorder with me, and I could put you right there as I listen to it. I was in Gaza, the first American diplomat. On your behalf, and as we delivered food and aid pursuant to your new aid initiative, pushed forth by your great Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, who it is a privilege for me to work alongside, the people were applauding you. The signs were up. I mean, these are people who I just don’t think you get the proper credit for at all. We are negotiating multiple entries into the Abraham Peace Accords because of your vision. Azerbaijan, all these different conflicts that we’re out there on your behalf on, these are people who have never really seen the world change in this way. Peace through strength really, really works. Russia, Ukraine, Iran, Israel, Hamas, we’re having meetings all this week on all three of those conflicts, and we hope to settle them before the end of this year. Your team is nothing short of incredible. And there’s only one thing I wish for, that that Nobel Committee finally gets its act together and realizes that you are the single finest candidate since this Nobel Peace Award was ever talked about to receive that reward. Beyond your success is game-changing out in the world today, and I hope everybody one day wakes up and realizes that. PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Thank you.
