Former first lady Hillary Clinton said she would nominate President Donald Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize if he could end the war in Ukraine on favorable terms for Kyiv.
Speaking on Jessica Tarlov’s “Raging Moderates” podcast, Clinton laid out the conditions that would earn Trump her praise.
“If [Trump] could bring about the end to this terrible war where Putin is the aggressor — invading a neighbor country, trying to change the borders — if he could end it without putting Ukraine in a position where it had to concede its territory to the aggressor, had to in a way validate Putin’s vision of greater Russia but instead could really stand up to Putin …” Clinton said.

“I’m not going to make a deal. It’s not up to me to make a deal,” Trump said earlier this week.
Trump said peace is a choice that had to be made between Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
“I’d like to see a ceasefire,” he added. “I’d like to see the best deal that could be made for both parties. You know, it takes two to tango.”
Trump warned of “very severe consequences” for Russia if Putin refuses to end the war.
