ANALYSIS — President Donald Trump could be risking his push for a Nobel Peace Prize with a high-stakes meeting Friday in Alaska with Russian President Vladimir Putin. But he’s got plenty of backers around the globe for the gold-plated prize.
“We’re going to have a meeting with Vladimir Putin, and at the end of that meeting, probably in the first two minutes, I’ll know exactly whether or not a deal can be made,” Trump said Monday during a White House news conference.
A reporter asked him how he would know, prompting Trump to reply: “Because that’s what I do, I make deals.”
