Donald Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to end the standoff with North Korea over its nuclear weapons programme, South Korea’s president has said.
‘President Trump should win the Nobel Peace Prize. What we need is only peace,’ President Moon Jae-in told a meeting of senior secretaries, according to a presidential Blue House official who briefed media.
Moon and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on Friday pledged to end hostilities between the two countries and work towards the ‘complete denuclearization’ of the Korean peninsula in the first inter-Korean summit in more than a decade.
Meanwhile, Trump is preparing for his own summit with Kim, which he said would take place in the next three to four weeks.
That upcoming meeting was the main subject of a private walk and chat that Kim and Moon had during their meeting at the border, the official said.
In January, Moon said Trump ‘deserves big credit for bringing about the inter-Korean talks. It could be a resulting work of the U.S.-led sanctions and pressure’.
Moon’s Nobel Prize comment came in response to a congratulatory message from Lee Hee-ho, the widow of late South Korean President Kim Dae-jung.
She said Moon deserved to win the prize in recognition of his efforts, the Blue House official said. Moon responded by saying Trump should get it.
