'Great discredit to them': Trump renews push for Nobel Peace Prize, says he saved millions of lives

US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday (October 7) he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize, arguing that he had helped settle eight conflicts and secure the release of hostages around the world. Speaking in the Oval Office ahead of Friday's Nobel Peace Prize announcement, Trump said he had "done far more" than previous recipients and suggested it would reflect poorly on the Nobel committee if he was not awarded the prize. He also defended his foreign policy record, saying his administration had prevented Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and claiming those efforts had helped avert a broader global conflict.
