North Korea says it will not denuclearize until the US eliminates 'nuclear threat' https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/20/asia/north-korea-us-nuclear-threat-intl/index.html (CNN)North Korea will not relinquish its nuclear weapons until the US eliminates its own "nuclear threat," according to a commentary published by state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). "The proper definition of denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula is completely eliminating the American nuclear threat to North Korea before eliminating our nuclear capability," the commentary says.
Kim Jong-un really took Trump for a ride. But, hey, there's still hope; does the Nobel have a Fool's Gold edition?
Maga: No need for Shinzo Abe: Trump already nominated for Nobel Peace Prize Gwladys Fouche 3 Min Read OSLO (Reuters) - Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is not saying whether or not he nominated Donald Trump for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize, but the question may be moot: the U.S. president has been put forward by others for the prestigious award. During a White House news conference on Friday, Trump said the Japanese premier had given him “the most beautiful copy” of a five-page nomination letter to the Norwegian Nobel Committee. Since then Abe has declined to say whether he had done so. Regardless, Trump has already been nominated by two Norwegian lawmakers. “We have nominated him of course for the positive developments on the Korean Peninsula,” Per-Willy Amundsen, who was Justice Minister in Prime Minister Erna Solberg’s cabinet in 2016-2018, told Reuters. “It has been a very difficult situation and the tensions have since lowered and a lot of it is due to Trump’s unconventional diplomatic style,” he added. Amundsen, who is a member of the rightwing Progress Party, wrote a letter to the award committee together with his parliamentary colleague Christian Tybring-Gjedde, he said. The letter was submitted in June, immediately after a summit Trump held in Singapore with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un aimed at easing tensions and tackling Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons program. Tybring-Gjedde, who sits on the Norwegian Parliament’s Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee, also confirmed the joint nomination of Trump when contacted by Reuters. “A possible award would of course depend on the talks leading to a credible disarmament deal,” he said. A wide range of people can nominate for the Nobel Peace Prize, including members of parliaments and governments, heads of state, university professors of history, social sciences or law and past Nobel Peace Prize laureates, among others. The deadline for nominations for the 2019 prize, which will be announced on Oct. 11., was Jan. 31. The five-strong Norwegian Nobel Committee, which decides who wins the award, does not comment on nominations, keeping secret for 50 years the names of nominators and unsuccessful nominees. Still, it did say earlier this month that 304 candidates were nominated for this year’s prize, of which 219 are individuals and 85 are organizations. Last year’s prize was jointly awarded to Congolese doctor Denis Mukwege and Yazidi human rights activist Nadia Murad.
The left-tards will laugh and have a dozen reasons why Trump does not qualify. Meanwhile, they cheered on the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Yasar Arafat- a terrorist who never saw a busload of children in Tel Aviv that he did not think needed to be blown up. And then, more recently, the lefties cheered on Hillary's buddy, Ang Sung, or whatever her name is, the leader of Burma, as she received the Nobel Peace Prize. But now that she is better known for committing genocide in Myanmar/Burma that is not looking pretty. Nope. No Nobel Prize for Trump. Cannot meet their lefty standards. If some kid stumbles and cracks his head on the sidewalk in Venezuela running to get some of the American (and other countries) humanitarian food supplies, the lefties will want Trump tried for war crimes.
Did you know Trump asked the Japanese Prime Minister to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize , shame . . . . . the guy wants it so badly , i'm holding out thumbs for him. --------------------- Japan’s PM nominated Trump for Nobel Peace Prize at the request of US government: newspaper Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe nominated U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize last autumn after receiving a request from the U.S. government to do so, the Asahi newspaper reported on Sunday. The report follows Trump’s claim on Friday that Abe had nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize for opening talks and easing tensions with North Korea. The Japanese leader had given him “the most beautiful copy” of a five-page nomination letter, Trump said at a White House news conference. The U.S. government had sounded Abe out over the Noble Peace Prize nomination after Trump’s summit in June last year with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, the first meeting between a North Korean leader and a sitting U.S. president, the Asahi said, citing an unnamed Japanese government source. A spokesman for Japan’s Foreign Ministry in Tokyo said the ministry was aware of Trump’s remarks, but “would refrain from commenting on the interaction between the two leaders.” The White House had no immediate comment when contacted by Reuters. The Nobel Foundation’s website says a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize may be submitted by any person who meets the nomination criteria, which includes current heads of states. Under the foundation’s rules, names and other information about unsuccessful nominations cannot be disclosed for 50 years.
