Donald Trump claims he’s worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize, but says he may never get it as the selection process is unfair.
The US president was speaking to reporters ahead of a bilateral meeting with Pakistan’s prime minister at the United Nations headquarters in New York.
In a discussion around the latest on the disputed region of Kashmir, Mr Trump described himself as an “extremely good arbitrator” who was worthy of the prize for “a lot of things”.
Tensions in Kashmir have been on the rise since India stripped the territory of its autonomous status and sent additional troops to the Muslim-majority area.
At the press conference in New York a journalist from Pakistan told Mr Trump if he was able to secure peace in the disputed region then he would “very likely and definitely” be worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize.
Mr Trump replied: “I would get a Nobel Prize for a lot of things, if they give it out fairly, which they don’t.”
Established in 1895, the prize is awarded to the person who “shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses”.
On Monday the US president claimed because the selection process was unfair he would lose out on being given the prestigious prize.
He made reference to how former president Barack Obama was a recipient of the award in 2009.
“They gave one to Obama immediately after his ascent to the presidency, and he had no idea why he got it,” Trump told reporters.
“You know what, that was the only thing I agreed with him on.”
