Donald Trump fans demand US President be given Nobel Peace Prize for his role in North and South Korea talks

President claims he had 'everything to do with' reconciliation talks
Martin Coulter29 April 2018

A rally of Donald Trump fans demanded he be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in the recent Korean reconciliation talks.

The US President, addressing a crowd of supporters in Michigan on Saturday, was describing recent developments on the Korean Peninsula when fans spontaneously started chanting: "Nobel!"

Mr Trump said: "A lot of good things are happening there, lots of good things...I'm not going to give you what's actually going to happen, because we don't really know.

"But I'll tell you one thing: We're not playing games and...it was very rough three or four months ago..."

Audience members then began chanting the word "Nobel", to which the President responded: "That's very nice thank you...'Nobel'...I just want to get the job done."

He continued: "So we are going to have hopefully a very successful negotiation over the next three or four weeks.

"And...err...we'll be doing the world a big favour. We'll be doing the world a big favour. Let's see how it goes, I think we'll do fine."

Moving onto the offensive, Mr Trump attacked "fake news" outlets who questioned his role in the talks, saying he had "everything" to do with the development.

"They were saying: 'What do you think President Trump had to do with it?' I'll tell you what, like, how about everything?"

Mr Trump also hit out at the "horrible and lousy" US Embassy in London ahead of his planned visit in July.

He renewed his criticism of the embassy after it was relocated from Grosvenor Square in the centre of the capital to a new location Nine Elms.

North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un today pledged to work towards eradicating nuclear weapons at a historic peace summit.

In scenes unimaginable months ago when North Korea appeared intent on forcing a nuclear missile crisis, he became the first leader of his nation to set foot in the South since the end of fighting in the Korean War in 1953.
