It has been no secret that President Donald Trump would like to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
In fact, one is within has grasp. The only problem is it belongs to former President Theodore Roosevelt, The Hill reported.
Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton said Monday he was “always worried” Trump would take Roosevelt’s medal which is on display in the White House.
“Theodore Roosevelt’s Nobel medallion hangs on the wall of the Roosevelt Room in the White House. I was always worried he would grab that if he can’t get another one,” Bolton told host Erin Burnett on CNN’s “OutFront.”
Roosevelt won the prize in 1906 for his work in bringing an end to the Russo-Japanese War.
Trump himself has claimed to have ended at least eight wars. He had also criticized the Nobel committee.
Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado said she would be willing to give the award she won in October to Trump after the U.S. capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife to face narcoterrorism charges.
