Summary
Trump’s confrontational approach to Ukraine, overshadowing any potential diplomatic achievement, raises doubts about his Nobel Peace Prize chances.
Critics, including Norwegian lawmaker Christian Tybring-Gjedde, who previously nominated Trump, warn that a Russia-leaning deal unsettles Europe.
Trump’s testy meeting with President Zelenskyy, marked by demands for gratitude and threats of withdrawing support, has stoked fears that negotiations are collapsing.
The Nobel Committee’s focus on honorable conduct also factors in, with Trump’s hostility toward the press and Europe’s concerns over territorial aggression undermining the “greatest benefit of humankind” requirement.
The Nobel Committee values global benefit, not political theater or coercion.

Didn’t Obama get one for just being elected? Maybe there was a specific reason but the peace prizes are basically “vibes”
Obama’s award still confuses me. Why not wait for actual accomplishments before handing it out?

Even Obama said he doesn’t know why they gave it to him.
