French President Emmanuel Macron has put a pretty big challenge out there for U.S. President Donald Trump, saying that if he wants to win the Nobel Peace Prize he so openly desires, he’ll have to stop the war in Gaza. It’s a bold move that comes after a high-profile United Nations General Assembly summit on Palestinian statehood, where the two leaders clearly didn’t see eye to eye.
During his own address to the U.N. gathering, Trump repeated a claim that he had “ended seven un-endable wars” and that everyone said he “should get the Nobel Peace Prize” for each of these achievements. This isn’t the first time he’s made a push for the prize, and it seems to be a consistent theme in his recent public appearances.
