Hillary Clinton Would Nominate Trump For Nobel Peace Prize If He…..

Former United States Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, has stated that if President Donald Trump significantly contributes to resolving the ongoing conflict in Ukraine before his planned summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska, on Friday.

“Honestly, if he could bring about the end to this terrible war, if he could end it without putting Ukraine in a position where it had to concede its territory to the aggressor, could really stand up to Putin — something we haven’t seen, but maybe this is the opportunity — if President Trump were the architect of that, I’d nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize,” Clinton told Jessica Tarlov on her Raging Moderates podcast released on Friday.

“Because my goal here is to not allow capitulation to Putin,” she added.

Trump has voiced his aspiration to be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, an honor previously awarded to his longtime political adversary and first-term predecessor, former President Barack Obama, in 2009 for his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”

Putin hinted at a possible agreement on nuclear arms control while praising Trump’s administration for being “energetic” and “sincere” in its efforts to end the Ukraine war ahead of the Alaska summit.

Putin informed senior officials that the meeting between Russia and the United States could “create long-term conditions for peace between our countries, as well as in Europe, and in the world as a whole” during a briefing on Thursday (August 14) via CNN.

A potential agreement could be reached if both parties can “reach agreements in the area of control over strategic offensive weapons,” according to Putin.

The U.S. and Russia previously signed the New START pact in 2011, limiting strategic nuclear weapons deployments, which is set to expire on February 5, 2026.

The treaty restricts both nations to 1,550 deployed nuclear warheads and 700 deployed missiles and bombers.

However, New START has faced challenges since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, compounded by Putin’s public statements in February that his country would no longer adhere to its terms, as well as Putin repeatedly showing that he cannot be trusted and Trump growing increasingly frustrated with him publicly, having accused him of “tapping” their conversations.

“We get a lot of bulls–t thrown at us by Putin, if you want to know the truth,” Trump said last month via the New York Post. “He’s very nice all of the time, but it turns out to be meaningless.”

A Gentle Reminder: Every obstacle is a stepping stone, every morning; a chance to go again, and those little steps take you closer to your dream.
