Prior, Tybring-Gjedde nominated Donald Trump for the award for his diplomatic efforts with North Korea. In February 2019 Trump said he had the right to be awarded the Peace Prize for his work on North Korea and Syria, however he complained he most likely could never get the honor.

“They gave it to Obama. He didn’t even know what he got it for. He was there for about 15 seconds and he got the Nobel Prize. He said, ‘Oh, what did I get it for?’” Donald Trump grumbled.

“With me, I probably will never get it.”

Donald Trump claimed he saved 3 million individuals living in Syria’s rebel-held Idlib region from being killed after he cautioned Russia, Iran, and the Syrian government against a planned offensive.

“Nobody talks about that,” he complained.

A month ago, Trump took to Twitter to declare the “historic deal” struck among Israel and UAE, one which the United States had helped broker.

“Trump administration played a key role in the establishment of relations between The UAE and Israel,” he told the reporter.

“It is now to hope that the Nobel Committee can consider what Trump has achieved internationally and that it does not stumble in established prejudice against the US President,” Tybring-Gjedde said in a Facebook post.

“As it is expected other Middle Eastern countries will follow in the footsteps of the UAE, this agreement could be a game changer that will turn the Middle East into a region of cooperation and prosperity,” Tybring-Gjedde wrote in his nomination letter to the Nobel Committee.
