Gabon’s head of state, Brice Oligui Nguema, publicly said on Wednesday that former U.S. President Donald Trump "deserves" the Nobel Peace Prize, crediting Trump with fostering conditions for peace in parts of Africa where, according to Nguema, such progress had previously seemed unattainable. Nguema offered the endorsement while appearing alongside Trump at an event that was not immediately detailed. The Gabonese leader did not specify which diplomatic initiatives he believes merit the prize, and the Nobel Committee does not comment on nominations. Trump, smiling at the remark, responded that the two leaders "could do this all day long."
