Unusual: Trump, nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize | Chronic

The arrogant, xenophobic, homophobic and contemptuous speech towards minorities did not prevent Donald Trump to be nominated to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. The rapprochement with North Korea was a sufficient merit to aspire to recognition, which was also granted to his predecessor, Barack Obama.

The presentation was made by Norwegian Conservative MPs By Willy Amundsen and Christian Tybring-Gjedde, who explained: "We named it for the advances in the Korean peninsula". In this sense, they said that the situation in the region was "very difficult"but the tension has gone down "largely because of Trump's unconventional diplomatic style.".

Immediately, they added that "The price will obviously depend on negotiations leading to a credible disarmament agreement". According to lawmakers, the proposal was presented last June, after the historic meeting between Trump and the President of North Korea, Kim Jong-un, they stayed in Singapore.

During the weekend, the president of the White House said that the Japanese Prime Minister, Shinzo AbeI had it delivered "the most beautiful copy" a letter of appointment sent to the Nobel Committee. However, the Norwegians were ahead of the Japanese and made the appointment of the tycoon official.

¿He deserves?

There is no doubt that the rapprochement with North Korea and the reduction of nuclear tensions is a merit, but we should at least ask ourselves whether it is enough to deserve recognition in view of other problems, such as their discrimination at home. against the Mexican people and Latinos. in general, their rudeness towards minorities within their country or their interference in the politics of other countries, such as Syria and Venezuela.

To obtain the distinction to be awarded on October 11, Trump would become the fourth Yankee President to win the award after Theodore Roosevelt (1906) Woodrow Wilson (1919) and Obama (2009).
