Overview

• Speaking to U.S. military personnel at Quantico, President Donald Trump said denying him the prize would insult the country and repeated his claim of having ended seven wars.
• He cited conflicts involving India and Pakistan, Egypt and Ethiopia, and Serbia and Kosovo, and suggested the award might instead go to someone he says has "done nothing."
• A Forsa telephone survey conducted Sept. 25–26 found 96% of Germans say Trump does not deserve the prize, 2% support it, and 2% are undecided among 1,001 respondents.
• A Washington Post–Ipsos poll from Sept. 11–15 reported that 76% of Americans would not award him the prize, while 22% say he deserves it.
• Reporting says countries including Pakistan, Israel, and Cambodia have put forward nominations, while parties in places such as Kosovo, Congo, and Kashmir only weakly corroborate Trump’s peace-making claims.
