According to Reuters, (Finance Minister) Stoltenberg was walking down a street in Oslo when the unexpected call came through. Out of the blue, Trump launched into a discussion about trade and tariffs before shifting to a more personal request. He told the finance minister that he wanted the Nobel Peace Prize, an accolade awarded by Norway that has previously gone to four U.S. presidents. Trump has had a long-standing fascination with the award and believes that he has earned it through his foreign policy achievements.

I just read about how stopping USAID is killing children in Africa.
The abrupt freeze of billions in U.S. foreign aid has fractured decades of global health and development work. Programs for HIV, malaria, and maternal health have stalled, tens of thousands of skilled professionals lost jobs, and U.S. nonprofits cut deeply into their staff.
The impact reaches beyond vulnerable communities to U.S. influence, security, and American livelihoods.
