Steven Cheung, White House Director of Communications, previously claimed that the reason why Trump didn’t receive the Nobel Peace Prize was all down to politics, and that those in charge of electing a person to secure the award did not want Trump to win.
He said: “The Nobel Committee proved they place politics over peace. President Trump will continue making peace deals around the world, ending wars, and saving lives. He has the heart of a humanitarian, and there will never be anyone like him who can move mountains with the sheer force of his will.”
Nobel Committee chair Jørgen Watne Frydnes previously issued a statement on the decision
When Frydnes was asked about Trump’s claims that it would be an insult to the US not to award him the prize, and why he wasn’t chosen, he alluded that media presence and campaigns would get nowhere with the committee.
