Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she would nominate President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize if he engineers an end to Russia’s war in Ukraine that leaves Kyiv’s borders intact. Clinton made the remark on Aug. 15 during the “Raging Moderates” podcast, stressing that any agreement must avoid what she called a “capitulation” to Moscow and should ultimately compel Russian forces to withdraw from occupied territory. Clinton’s overture coincided with Trump’s trip to Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage for a high-stakes meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin focused on a potential cease-fire. While acknowledging Trump’s long-standing desire for the prize, she said her priority is ensuring that a deal strengthens European security and does not legitimize President Vladimir Putin’s invasion. Asked about Clinton’s comments in a Fox News interview, Trump called the gesture “very nice” and quipped that he “may have to start liking her again.” The unexpected praise from his 2016 rival underscores the political significance of the Alaska talks, which Trump has described as having a 75 percent chance of success, with a follow-up session envisioned to include Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
