Trump downplays shot at Nobel Peace Prize, says 'no idea' if he will win

Donald Trump made these remarks during a White House presser when he was asked about his prospects for winning a Nobel Prize to be announced this Friday

US President Donald Trump on Wednesday (local time) said he has "no idea" about his prospects of winning a Nobel Peace Prize this year, again highlighted the "efforts" made by his administration in resolving global conflicts. 

Trump made these remarks during a White House presser when he was asked about his prospects for winning a Nobel Prize to be announced this Friday. "I have no idea... Marco would tell you we settled seven wars. We're close to settling an eighth. I think we'll end up settling the Russia situation... I don't think anybody in history has settled that many. But perhaps they'll find a reason not to give it to me," Trump said. 

Trump has been raking in international support for his bid to win a Nobel Peace Prize. While he was nominated during his first term, he did not win. The US President, on multiple occasions, has sought a Nobel Peace Prize for himself, stating that "nobody has done what he has".
